Ingredients

1 cup honey
3/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup minced garlic (8 to 12 cloves)
1/2 cup peeled and grated fresh ginger root
2 (3 1/2 pound) chickens, quartered, with backs removed

Directions

Cook the honey, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger root in a small saucepan over low heat until the honey is melted. Arrange the chicken in 1 layer in a shallow baking pan, skin side down, and pour on the sauce. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil. Marinate overnight in the refrigerator.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Place the baking pan in the oven and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover the pan, turn the chicken skin side up, and raise the temperature to 375 degrees F. Continue baking for 30 minutes or until the juices run clear when you cut between a leg and thigh and the sauce is a rich, dark brown.

Excellent & Easy
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

The flavors are great. I added crushed red pepper to my marinade as well for a little heat with the sweet and savory. The... picture is misleading with respect to the skin crispyness. I may broil for a few minutes at the end next time to see if I can get the crispy skin. Read more

Great Chicken!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My chicken turned out great--it was moist and tender. I didn't find it too sweet--maybe because I only had 3/4 cup of honey... but with this amount of honey I feel the chicken could have been a little sweeter. The next time I will use the full amount the recipe calls for. I loveed it and will definitely make it again.Read more

Basic Asian Chicken
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I LOVE Ina but this was not my favorite recipe. It's very similar to Filipino Chicken Adobo but baked, so the flavors are a... little more muted. In addition, the photo is a little misleading with my results. The skin is NOT crispy. Tasty nonetheless.Read more
