Baked Soy Sauce Chicken

This recipe is pretty healthy as it is totally oil free and chicken fat is totally trimmed. It makes an easy, hassle free dinner.

Preparation time: 20 minutes
Marinate time: atleast 4 hours
Baking time: 50 minutes

Ingredients:

• 700-800 gms chicken sliced and cleaned and trimmed of fat
• 2 spring onions finely chopped along with leeks
• 1.5 tsp garlic mince
• 1.5 tsp ginger mince
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 2 tbsp honey
• 0.5 cup dark soy sauce
• 0.5 cup water
• 2 tbsp vinegar
• sat and crushed black peppercorns as per taste
• red chili flakes as per taste
• 2 tbsp coriander leaves chopped

Poke the chicken pieces with a fork and make small cuts on the skin with a knife. This is done so that the marinate penetrates deep into the chicken pieces. Mix rest of the ingredients in a glass bowl and coat the chicken pieces properly with the marinate. Let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours. You can even marinate over night.

Preheat the oven to 200 degree Celsius. Line an aluminium foil in a oven tin and place the chicken along with the marinate in the tin.

Bake it for 40 to 50 minutes at 200 degree Celcius. Spoon the marinate over the pieces after 10 minutes. When top side is glazed and done, turn the pieces. This may take 20 to 25 minutes.

Serve with rice and raita. Enjoy!!!
