Baked Honey & Garlic Chicken

Name: Baked Honey & Garlic Chicken
Prep time: 30 min
Yield: 2

NOT AVAILABLE 2 SERVINGS

INGREDIENTS

6 pieces of Chicken Mid Joint Wing
50g Edamame Beans
1 tablespoon Baking Powder
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder

Honey Garlic Sauce:

2 tablespoon Honey
1 tablespoon Light Soy Sauce
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon molasses sugar
3 tablespoon water
¼ teaspoon corn flour

METHOD

Prepare the chicken mid wings by washing them clean and patting them very dry with paper towels. Alternatively, you can leave them in the fridge and dry them out overnight.
Add the baking powder and garlic powder to the chicken and rub them evenly all over.
Prepare a wire rack by spraying non-stick coating over the surface. Ensure that the wire rack is well-coated by brushing the oil over it with a pastry brush.
Place the chicken on the wire rack and bake them in a pre-heated oven at 150º C for 30 minutes. (You’ll see the baking powder sizzle and moistureforming on the chicken. This is normal — it means that the chicken will be crispy!)
Meantime, prepare the vegetables. (Edamame beans used here but you can use any vegetable you like.) Boil some water with 1 teaspoon of salt. Add the vegetables into the boiling water and cook it until they turn bright green in colour. Drain and set aside.
Prepare the honey and garlic sauce by combining all the ingredients for the sauce in a pot. Cook it over low flame until it boils, stirring constantly to prevent the sugar from burning. Remove the pot from the flame when the sauce starts to thicken and becomes sticky.
Back to the chicken. Flip the mid joint wings and rest them on the other side. Increase the temperature to 200º C and bake for another 12 to 15 minutes, or until the chicken turns golden brown.
Remove the chicken from the oven and coat them with the honey garlic sauce with a pastry brush (because the sauce is very sticky!) Serve hot with edamame beans. Enjoy!
