Ingredients
Main dish
- 1.25 kg chicken thighs/legs

- 1 green onion, sliced
- 1 tsp of salt
- 1 tsp of pepper
- 1 tsp of chicken spice
Honey Soy Marinade
- 4 tbsp honey
- 5 tbsp light soy sauce
- 1 tbsp dark soy sauce
- 3 tbsp white clear vinegar
- 1 tbsp garlic/ginger and green chili paste
- 1/2 tbsp canola oil
- 1 tbsp Shaoxing wine
Instructions
- Mix the salt, pepper, and chicken spice in a Ziplock bag, place the chicken in the bag, and shake it to cover the chicken.
- In a bowl mix marinade until honey is dissolved.
- Pour over the chicken (I scored chicken) in a ziplock bag.
- Marinade for 30 minutes, or overnight.
- Preheat oven to 200°C/400°F (180°C fan).
- Line a large tray with foil then paper.
- Spread chicken out on the tray, skin side down but reserve marinade.
- Bake 30 minutes. Drain off juices on the tray and discard them.
- Pour reserved marinade over chicken.
- Toss to coat then spread the chicken out, skin side up.
- Turn oven down to 180°C/350°F (160°C fan).
- Bake chicken for 30 minutes, basting with tray juices every 10 minutes (3 times).
- Sauce should be syrupy by the end so you can glaze well.
- Transfer chicken onto a serving plate.
- Pour over syrup and sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onion.
- Serve!
