Great tasting recipe! Husband really enjoyed it. The ONLY reason i gave 4 stars is because the skin of the chicken didn't get crispy and i followed directions exactly. Maybe it's not supposed to, but to me it would taste better if it were. Maybe cutting back on baking time and putting it under the broiler next time may help to crisp the skin. Other than that the flavor is wonderful. Another thing I did was to pour out some of the marinade before baking. I'm glad I did because once the chicken cooked-- the fat from the chicken would've caused it to be way too much liquid in the baking pan.
Fabulous and Elegant

When I first read this recipe I thought it was too good to be true. My mother-in-law was coming for dinner so I tried it...we all LOVED it. It's absolutely fabulous! It's perfect with Basmati rice and takes like something from a 5 star restaurant.

Excellent recipe. Made it with both cut-up chicken and just boneless chicken tights and result was - very good. For those who had difficult time shredding the ginger, here's the trick: cut the ginger root into separate servings, pill the skin off and freeze it until the time you ready to use it. I put each serving in the separate snack back with a zipper and keep them all together in one Ziploc back. When you ready to use it - just take it off the bag and grate it on the fine grater. It takes a minute or two. Rachael Ray's trick.
a little variation

I love this recipe so much but I tweaked it a little. I make the sauce as directed but I cut up small pieces of chicken and fry them in panko bread crumbs in veg. oil. I make another batch of the sauce and thicken it with a water/cornstarch mixture and use it to pour over the chicken pieces and brown rice. I then toss the whole thing with sugar snap peas and other fresh Asian vegetables. I use a bit more ginger because I love the spiciness. Everyone always falls in love with it and it is a bit easier to eat.
Yummy

I thought this dish was very good. I did make some slight changes. I did not have any fresh ginger or garlic so I used 2 tsp. of the jared minced ginger and 2tsp. of the jared minced garlic. The flavor was excellent and not over powering, which seemed to a complaint by some people. I also used low sodium soy which helped, given the amount of soy that is needed. I served it with Jasmine rice and my family loved. I would definitely make this again. Enjoy!!!
Everyone loved it

This recipe works best with legs, wings and well-trimmed thighs. The sauce is delicious and, if the pieces are left to cook for maybe 10 minutes longer than the recipe states, the sauce gets thicker and the skin gets a better crust. Served with rice and the carrots or sauteed spinach, this is a winner and I can't imagine why anyone wouldn't love it.
The best of the best!

I made this for the first time last night & I am really impressed. This was as easy as roast chicken & what a flavor combination! The ginger, honey & soy are just wonderful together & the garlic is not at all overpowering. I paired it with the roasted carrots that were prepared along with it on the show & some brown basmati rice. I got rave reviews from my husband & will definitely be making this for friends in the future.
Love this!

This recipe is easy and will impress! I often make in advance. I combine all ingredients with the chicken into a gallon bag and throw it in the freezer until I am ready to use it. Thaw it out in the fridge the day before you want to cook it and it will marinate as it thaws. It's so simple and tastes great!!!

Saw it on Ina' show and decided to try it, even given some of the more "interesting" reviews. My mods: used low sodium soy sauce; was just a bit shy on the 1/2 cup of ginger; used a whole head of garlic (13 cloves). Grated the ginger by hand which was a pain. No room for the roasting pan in the fridge, so used a bowl which covered the chicken better with the marinade. Marinaded overnight. End result was very good. Chicken was tasty and juicy and the sauce was delicious. There was no heat - if you want that, add something to spice it up. Did not find it to be oversweet - was just right. If you prefer things salty, use regular soy sauce; low sodium was fine by me. Great recipe! Note: you have to like ginger to enjoy this recipe!
Greatttttttttt!

With some minor adjustments, I made this dish very fast and it turned out great! 1. I used a whole Bell and Evans chicken (almost 5 lbs) and had the butcher cut it into pieces (with skin and bones still attached). 2. I didn't even come close to grating 1/2 cup of ginger, instead I grated about 1/4 cup IF THAT. 3. I baked the chicken as recommended and it came out FABULOUS. The meat was falling off the thighs and drumsticks!
Plenty to work with

Just thighs works best. I've added red pepper, thinly sliced yellow onions and green peppers. Pineapple chunks and toasted sesame seeds for a bit more "Hawaiian" flavor. It's a great base for a fantastic chicken dish. I've also siphoned off half the sauce, reduced it and used it as a thick finishing glaze for grilled pork chops with a little Granny Smith apple dice thrown in.

I make this recipe all the time. What a hit with everyone, even my fussy son loves it. I put more garlic and ginger than called for and grill it vice bake it. The skin gets crisper. There have been times when I am not able to marinate it over night but the taste is still great with only a few hours.

I used big chicken drumsticks. Since there is skin on both sides, I did not cover with foil for the first half hour. Had so many new recipes that I wanted to try this weekend that the chicken marinated for almost two days and it was delicious. Expect that leftovers will be good too since the chicken turned out so tender. May use chicken thighs next time since I prefer the juiciness of dark meat. Used a different, Ming Tsai, recipe for the basmati rice (seasoned just with ginger and lemon).
Absolutely wonderful!

This recipe is excellent!! However, as I am not a fan of the "whole" chicken, I improvised with frozen chicken breasts and cooked stove top over low to medium heat. For extra color, I also added a few chopped carrots and fresh broccoli towards the very end. I recommend using low sodium soy suace and even a 1/4 cup of water while cooking to dilute the salt.
Great!!

User: JOANNE from Shirley, NY User Rating:
I say 'strange' b/c with Ina's recipes, I have never been left flat, but for this time. I love garlic, ginger, soy, and I stir fry with these ingredients about once a week; but these wonderful ingredients just didn't harmonize together at all in this recipe. It was over-the-top too strong, almost nauseating. I think it would have worked better with spareribs; but it left me so disappointed, I will most likely not attempt this one again. I am very familiar with Indonesia and have family there and they have never heard of a dish by this name made this way. I suppose it's okay to take poetic license and give recipes exotic names-- which wouldn't bother me at all if it just tasted good. If you love dark color and crispy skin in a roasted chicken dish, nothing can compare to Giada's Roasted Chicken with Balsamic Vinaigrette. It is easy, tasty, and delicious. This is what I was hoping for with this one.
As good as described!

This chicken was easy and good. I agree with other reviewers that it needed something more. Try adding 1 cup of pineapple juice and the juice of 2 lemons to the mixture. I used only one chicken, but did not cut the marinade. Definetly marinade it over night. The 2 additional juices add a nice sweetness, and more flavor. Also, try just cooking a pan of chicken wings. Also, the chicken tastes better at room temperature.
Not up to Ina's standard perfection!

I am a HUGE fan of Ina... Love her show, and have had 100% success with all of her recipes, until now. After watching her make this dish, I ran out to get fresh ginger, since I had everything else in the house... could not wait to try, what looked to be delicious. Marinated the chicken about 4 hours (she only did it for 1 hr on her show)... the skin was wonderful, but the chicken was tastless... we had to constantly dip it in the sauce, which was greasy from the chicken fat (even after skimming off the fat that i could get). Maybe leaving it overnight, with the addition of a little pineapple juice, would be helpful...? Don't think I'll try it again... she has too many other fabulous sure winners to try.
Easy and tasty

Perfect for a dinner party since all you do is pop in the oven. Next time will add a little more honey since I like sweet and hopefully sauce will be a little more syrupy. Great taste.
great chicken

This was easy to prepare, smelled heavenly while cooking, and tasted delicious. However, my chicken came out a bit tough, not dry, just tough. Maybe this was because the cooking time was too long for my smaller pieces (my chicken was cut into eighths, not quarters), or maybe because it essentially boiled in all that sauce. Still this was great, and I'll probably experiment with it next time by grilling it, using boneless skinless breasts, etc. Chicken tenders of this might make a great appetizer.
Absolutely DELICIOUS!!!

OKay this was ridiculously AMAZING!!!!!!!! I could go on forever talking about how good this is, but let me just say that if you like Asian flavors at all, you will LOVE this!!! I made this also with all the side dishes, the basmati, carrots and cashews, and my boyfriend nearly fell off his chair it was so good!!!!! This was sooooo easy and professional--it easily tasted like something you'd get at an amazing restaurant. INA I ADORE YOU!!!!! You are so talented - thank you for sharing these recipes online!!!!

This is a great recipe for those of us who really don't like to cook. It was easy and I got two enthusiatic thumbs up from everyone in the family. I do agree with the idea of putting in some red pepper flakes just to add some zing to it. We put in extra garlic and ginger ( you can never have enough) and it was excellent. We will definitely add this to our favorites list.
Awesome...Exactly Like She Said!

This recipe was so good. I had to cut down the quantity however because it serves so many. I also used boneless skinless chicken breast instead of whole chicken. Also I grilled the chicken instead of baking it but you get the basic idea. I use the recipe alot.
Wow!!

This is one of the few recipes that ended up in the garbage instead of on the table. The soy sauce is so overpowering that you can't taste anything else. Plus cooking the chicken in the marinade creates this weird rubbery texture for the meat. This was really awful.
Very Yummy

Great recipe. Not sweet, but not overpoweringly salty with the soy sauce. Ginger makes it taste fresh & the chicken is very moist and tender. I recommend throwing some frozen broccoli or other vegies into the baking pan with it to have a more balanced meal. Very easy to prepare!

Even if the name of the recipe doesn't sound appealing to you, you HAVE to try this! Its incredibly simple and incredibly delicious. As usual, Ina lets the food speak for itself and doesn't cover up the amazing flavors of its natural goodness. The roasted carrots and basmati rice complete this company-worthy meal.

Excellent recipe. I used drumsticks & thights instead of a whole chicken. I also added a teaspoon of red pepper flakes to give it a little kick.
Very good!

I used all breasts with the bone and skin on. I marinated half of it for three hours, and the other half all night to cook the next day. Made a HUGE difference--much more flavorful to soak all night. Very sweet and tangy--just make sure all of your guests like ginger!

This is a good recipe - certainly easy, but I didn't think it was great. I think there are better chicken marinades out there.

I love this recipe! As did the whole family and this marinade is just perfect for the chicken. I did not marinade overnight but did for 1.5 hours. The chicken was very tender, juicy had had a great flavor. PS this chicken is great with roasted carrots and basmati!!! FC, TAMPA

I thought this was an okay recipe. I cook a lot of authentic Asian dishes and this was not up to par. If you are an Ina fan and your Asian knowledge consists of the Americanized stuff, you'll probably like it better then I did.
