Chicken in soy sauce with honey

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make a delicious juicy chicken in soy sauce with honey in the oven? Very simple. First, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. Take the chicken of the weight you need. My amount of marinade is designed for a bird weighing 2 kg or more. If you have a bird less than 2 kg, you can reduce the amount of soy sauce, honey, vegetable and butter by a third.

2. Step 2:

   

   Wash the chicken and dry it dry with a paper towel or napkins. Rub the bird with salt and pepper inside and out. Leave the chicken at room temperature while you prepare the marinade.

3. Step 3:

   

   Now prepare the necessary ingredients for the marinade. You can supplement or replace them by preserving the three main ingredients: soy sauce, honey and ginger. You can replace these spices with a ready-made mixture of spices for chicken, but read the composition on the package. In such mixtures, there is usually already salt and pepper, so make sure that in combination with soy sauce you do not over-salt the dish. Vegetable oil - any. I have olive oil.

4. Step 4:

   

   In a bowl, mix vegetable and butter, honey, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, curry. Add freshly ground pepper. Dry garlic and ginger can be replaced with 1 fresh clove of garlic and 2 cm of ginger root, which need to be grated on a fine grater.

5. Step 5:

   

   Mix everything well. You will not get a completely homogeneous mixture - small pieces of butter will float on the surface, but at the first minutes of heating in the oven they will melt and the marinade will be homogeneous.

7. Step 6:

   

   Rub the chicken inside and out with marinade. Leave the bird to marinate in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours.

8. Step 7:

   

   And if possible, it's better for the night. The longer the meat is marinated, the more tender, tastier, juicier and more fragrant it will turn out.

9. Step 8:

   

   Put the chicken in a baking dish and pour the marinade if desired. Since I marinated the bird in the same form in which I baked, I just turned the carcass breast up. Bake the chicken in a preheated 180 ° C oven for about 1.5 hours. The exact time depends on your oven and the size of the chicken. Pour the chicken juice from the bottom of the mold as often as possible.

    Gradually the marinade thickens, forming a delicious crispy honey crust on the surface of the bird. Enjoy your meal!
