Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Wash and drain the chicken. Combine flour and pepper in a paper bag, then add chicken pieces. Shake to coat well.

In a small saucepan, melt butter. Pout half of it into a 9x13-inch shallow baking dish. Place chicken in dish, turning to coat with butter, then leave skin-side down. Bake, uncovered, for 30 minutes.

To the butter remaining in saucepan, add rest of ingredients. Warm, blending with a whisk.

At end of 30 minutes, turn chicken and pour honey mixture over top. Bake another 30 minutes, basting several times with sauce.

Good with this: rice cooked in chicken broth then finished with sweet butter and a goodly amount of chopped chives or parsley, plus simply dressed sliced tomatoes, and Yellow Squash and Sweet Corn.
