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.

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

Ina does it again. Full of flavor & Easy!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Only had time to marinate for 5 hours. It was wonderful. Added the leftover sauce to some rice noodles, peanut butter,... sesame oil, carrots, onion, and red pepper. Simple yummy side dish. I can't wait to try it with swordfish next like her recent show.Read more

Delectably Delicious!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was so quick and easy to make! I modified it and just used chicken breasts and it turned out really well.My husband... loved it and said that I should definitely add it into the routine. I also used Ina's recipe for roasted brussel sprouts with this meal. I love her! Read more

Most amazing chicken dish ever! Show OFF with this dish!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

...DElish. SHORTCUT: I didn't want to go through the trouble of quartering a chicken so I just bought a mix of cuts, some... bone-in AND some boneless (with skin on) and it worked great...it actually makes things even less complicated when putting it together AND when your dinner guests are devouring it... I want to make it again tonight it is SO good!Read more
