A square, overhead shot of Baked Honey Garlic Chicken. The honey garlic chicken is in a large white tray, with a dark blue rim. To the right of the image, you can slightly see a large silver spoon resting in the tray with the chicken, there are a few pieces of chicken in the spoon. You can see to the left of the background, that there are a few dried chilli flakes scattered around the tray, and to the bottom right of the image, you can see a white napkin tucked underneath the tray. This is all set on a light grey background.
