The holiday season is a time for friends and family to gather, and especially to gather around a delicious meal. Planning, shopping for, and assembling provisions for large groups can be stressful (and hectic), but luckily, we’re here with some of our favorite Generation Bee recipes featuring delectable Generation Bee Honey flavors that are sure to leave your guests surprised and satisfied.
Starter Cocktail
Our Bee's Knees (Cocktail) is the perfect starter to get your guests settled. In a shaker with ice, mix gin, Generation Bee honey, and lemon juice. Shake until chilled and strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish with a lemon twist and serve.
Appetizer
Refreshing and light, there’s no better appetizer or size than our Watermelon & Feta Salad with Generation Bee Sea Salt Vanilla Bean Honey. Toss arugula in the dressing and make a bed on the plate. Place the remaining ingredients in a mixing bowl with 2 tbsp of dressing. Mix gently and place on the bed of arugula. Drizzle the dressing that remains over the salad and finish with a light dusting of sea salt. Add proteins such as grilled salmon, grilled shrimp, or lump crab to make it an entrée.
Main
Cooking the perfect chicken can be tricky, but our Roasted Chicken with Generation Bee Orange Basil Honey Glaze is simple to make and mouthwatering. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Place the trussed chicken in a roasting pan with a rack. Coat the chicken with olive oil and spread or brush evenly on the surface. Once the oven is up to temperature, place the chicken on the middle rack and sear until a light golden brown (approximately 15–20 minutes). Once the chicken is golden, turn the oven temperature down to 300°F. With a pastry brush, evenly coat the seared chicken with the Generation Bee honey glaze and continue to roast. Continue this glazing process every 10 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Remove from oven and allow to rest for 15 minutes before carving.
Dessert
The great thing about our wide array of Generation Bee Honey flavors is the versatility it holds. Add your favorite flavor into your holiday recipes for an all-natural sweeter option or add it to some hot team for a cozy ending to the perfect meal.
