STICKY HONEY SOY CHICKEN - BAKED

Sticky Honey Soy Chicken - baked image

Recipe video above. This is still the best, EASIEST sticky honey soy chicken recipe I have come across. And I've tried many over the years! Marginally adapted from this recipe by Sprinkles and Sprouts. The sauce is very thin when you put it together and gets even thinner while baking, but miraculously, it suddenly thickens into an incredible glaze to squidge the chicken in. It's salty and sweet with a lovely hit of sesame.Please do not double the recipe or sauce, this will prevent the sauce from reducing down to the sticky glaze you see pictured.

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1.2kg / 2.4lb bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs OR drumsticks ((5 - 6 pieces) (Note 1))
1 red onion (, peeled, cut into wedges)
3 cloves garlic (, minced)
3 tbsp honey
3 tbsp soy sauce ((Note 2))
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar (or ordinary white vinegar)
1 tsp sesame oil
1/2 tsp black pepper
Sesame seeds
Fresh coriander/cilantro leaves ((or other green things like green onion, parsley, chives))

Steps:

Preheat oven to 200°C/390°F (180°C fan).
Line pan: Line a baking dish with foil then baking paper. The baking tray should fit the chicken comfortably, not too spaced apart (glaze will dry out), not too snug (glaze won't thicken enough). (Note 3)
Glaze: Mix the Glaze ingredients together.
Pour glaze over chicken: Place onion and chicken in the baking dish skin side down, then pour the Glaze over.
Bake 50 - 60 minutes: Bake for 25 minutes, then turn and bake for a further 25 to 35 minutes, until the chicken is browned and the glaze is sticky. If the glaze is not syrupy, remove the chicken to a plate and put the pan back in for a few minutes (it will reduce quickly).
Squidge/coat chicken - Turn chicken and squidge in the glaze, then also spoon it over.
Serve! Serve with rice and steamed greens, sprinkled with sesame seeds and fresh cilantro/coriander leaves.

Ingredients

6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
⅓ cup butter, melted
⅓ cup honey
2 tablespoons prepared mustard
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon curry powder

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Place chicken breasts into a 9x13-inch baking dish. Whisk butter, honey, mustard, salt, and curry powder together in a bowl until smooth; pour sauce evenly over chicken.
Bake in the preheated oven until sauce is bubbling and chicken is no longer pink inside, 30 to 45 minutes. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a breast should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

Tips:

To ensure your chicken is evenly coated in the honey sauce, use a large mixing bowl or resealable plastic bag. This will allow you to easily toss the chicken in the sauce, ensuring that every piece is coated.
If you don't have sesame seeds on hand, you can substitute another type of nut or seed, such as peanuts, almonds, or sunflower seeds.
For a spicier dish, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder to the honey sauce.
If you are using frozen chicken, thaw it completely before cooking. This will help to ensure that the chicken cooks evenly.
Serve the honey chicken immediately with your favorite sides, such as rice, noodles, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Baked Asian-style honey chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for busy weeknights. With its sweet and savory flavor, this dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
