THE CHICKEN

I highly recommend dark meat (chicken thighs/legs) to ensure the best texture and juiciness. Chicken breasts can work but are less tasty! Whichever you choose, the magic works in the marination. The chicken should be marinated in the fridge for at least 1 hour but the flavors will be enhanced significantly when marinated for 2 hours or longer.

THE SPECIAL INGREDIENT

To make it a bit fusion, I’ve used a special ingredient in this recipe – Chinese Chili Bean Paste (Dou Ban Jiang) which I use a lot in my Sichuan recipes (f.ex. The Devil’s Mapo Tofu, A Taste of Sichuan).

HOW TO MAKE THIS HONEY GARLIC CHICKEN

1. Mariner kyllingen – In a large mixing bowl, mix together Chicken, Olive Oil, Honey, Light Soy Sauce, Garlic, Ginger, Chinese Chili Bean Paste, Brown Sugar, Cinnamon, Dry Thyme, Onion, Cornstarch, Salt, and Black Pepper. Cover and marinate in the fridge for 1-2 hours.

2. Prepare the baking dish – Generously Oil a 19 cm x 28 cm baking dish on the bottom and sides. Pour the Chicken pieces into the baking dish. Spread evenly.

3. Bake the Chicken – Bake in preheated oven at 425 F (220 C) for 25-28 minutes. Then use the broiler function to broil the chicken for another 5 minutes, or until it turns nicely dark golden brown.

4. Klar til servering – Remove from the oven. Garnish with chopped Green Onions and it is ready to enjoy!

Hainis tips

The Chicken can be served directly after baking in the oven for 25- 28 minutes. But for a crispier skin and a glazy deeply red and golden color, raise the pan one level in the oven and use the broiler for another 5 minutes.
