Dip each chicken piece in the sauce and return to the hot oven for a few minutes. The exterior of the chicken should get crispy and golden brown.

When the chicken is done, set aside. Pour out the drippings from the pan, wipe out any large residual chicken bits, and put the cast iron back on a warm burner. Add a few tablespoons of the reserved chicken drippings and the remaining sauce plus honey. Simmer for just a few minutes until the sauce is bubbly and hot. Pour the remaining sauce over the chicken and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Serve with a green salad and crusty bread for soaking up the very lemony sauce.
