Y’all know my love for chicken haha. My first post definitely had to be chicken related.

How to make honey soy chicken!

Recipe!!

Ingredients

*Chicken( I used the 1kg QMP assorted chicken pack)

*Honey( 2 table spoons)

*Soy sauce( 2 bottle tops of dark soy sauce) however, when using light soy sauce you can use more.

* Rosemary( I really love rosemary aki, especially coz I get them from mum’s kitchen garden💃🤣)

*Chicken masala

*Mixed spice

*Garlic ginger paste

*Spring onions

*Salt

*Chilli flakes

(Did y’all know you can easily make chilli flakes at home instead of buying? That’s what I do. If anyone is interested, hit me up for instructions) I’ll attach my socials apo chini

Side note; I usually eyeball my spices so sina specific measurements 😅

Procedure

In a bowl;add chicken masala, mixed spice, honey, soy sauce, rosemary, salt and chilli flakes(chilli is optional) then finally the ginger garlic paste. Mix them well, ensure there are no spice balls floating on top.

Make small incisons on the chicken, this allows for the marinade to get into the chicken. Add the chicken to the marinade.

You can either cover it and let it marinate overnight in the fridge or if you’re making a quick meal, cover it and let it marinate in the fridge for 30 mins.

Marinade will look like this when properly mixed

When you add the chicken

Oven instructions

I prefer preheating the oven whenever I’m using it. Temp 180° for 10 mins

After adding the chicken, I adjusted the temp to 220° and set the timer to 50 mins

After 20 mins turn the chicken, let it cook for another 20 mins then turn it again. The last 10 mins smear the remaining marinade on the chicken and let it cook for those 10 mins.

Rice recipe

The rice was a quick fix; I just boiled rice when it was almost ready, I added the spring onions and let it cook.

Btw do y’all wash your rice before cooking? Growing up, my mum insisted we should always wash rice, I have maintained the trend haha. Lemme know what y’all prefer😊

Plated meal

‘Dine with me’ guest feedback

My first guest was my brother.

” The meal was really filling, proper spice coordination, the kuku was well cooked.”

He however said the chilli was abit hot haha. In my defense I asked how hot he wanted it lol.

Disclaimer: I’ll always inquire if my guests want chilli or not. I got y’all 😊👌❤️ Chilli lovers and anti-chilli people.

That’s it for this week’s post. Comments and questions will be highly appreciated. I can send the recipe to anyone who would want any alterations on it.

Thank you loves❤️
