Sticky Ginger Soy Glazed Chicken Recipe

Cooking Directions

• STEP 1.In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil to make the glaze.
• STEP 2.Place the chicken in a ziplock bag and pour the glaze over it. Seal the bag and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
• STEP 3.Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
• STEP 4.Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

• STEP 6.While the chicken is baking, pour the remaining marinade into a small saucepan and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes to thicken the glaze.
• STEP 7.Once the chicken is done, brush it with the thickened glaze and broil for an additional 2-3 minutes to get a nice char.
• STEP 8.Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
• STEP 9.Serve the Sticky Ginger Soy Glazed Chicken over rice or noodles, garnished with sesame seeds and green onions.

Cooking Tips

• For extra flavor, you can add a splash of rice vinegar or lime juice to the glaze.
• Make sure to baste the chicken with the glaze every 10 minutes while it is baking to ensure a sticky and caramelized coating.
• To check if the chicken is cooked through, insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken. It should read 165°F (74°C).
