Unker Cooks : Baked Honey Chicken

So today I cooked...

Baked Honey Chicken

Fuyoooh...

Here's what you need (for 2 persons):

• 1 chicken leg. Keep skin intact. 
• Abalone sauce
• Light soya sauce
• Black pepper
• 2 x Shallots
• 1cm of Ginger
• 2 bulb of Garlic

Here's what you do:

Remove skin of shallots, ginger and garlic. Put them into the blender. Add 2 tablespoons of water. Blend away!

Wash chicken and remove all blood related parts. Pat dry with Jusco™ paper towels. Add one tablespoon of Abalone sauce into the blended stuff. Mix well then spread all over the chicken leg. Add a dash of Sarawak black pepper your colleague bought from his last holiday trip on each side of the chicken.

Add one tablespoon of honey too and cover evenly all over the chicken. I used some "selected acacia honey" from Hai-O.

Let chicken sit in the marinade goodness for 1 hour. Turn it around once a while to make sure all parts are covered.

And here comes the fun part. Place chicken on baking tray in the oven. Set oven at 250 Celcius and bake for 15 minutes or when you notice the skin starts to burn become black. Take it out, flip it over and bake for another 15 minutes.

To check whether the chicken is cooked, use a knife and poke the thickest part of the chicken. If there are still blood oozing out, it's not done yet. If it's clear chicken juice flowing, then you're done!

Take out and cover chicken with additional one tablespoon of honey. You can serve as it is or chop up nicely. The skin will be slightly crispy and  the meat very juicy and tender.

Yummm yummm..... No salt necessary!

Baked Honey Chicken... .DONE! :D
