Recipe video above. This is still the best, EASIEST sticky honey soy chicken recipe I have come across. And I've tried many over the years! Marginally adapted from this recipe by Sprinkles and Sprouts. The sauce is very thin when you put it together and gets even thinner while baking, but miraculously, it suddenly thickens into an incredible glaze to squidge the chicken in. It's salty and sweet with a lovely hit of sesame.Please do not double the recipe or sauce, this will prevent the sauce from reducing down to the sticky glaze you see pictured.
View original recipe on recipetineats.comPreheat oven to 200°C/390°F (180°C fan).
Line pan: Line a baking dish with foil then baking paper. The baking tray should fit the chicken comfortably, not too spaced apart (glaze will dry out), not too snug (glaze won't thicken enough). (Note 3)
Glaze: Mix the Glaze ingredients together.
Pour glaze over chicken: Place onion and chicken in the baking dish skin side down, then pour the Glaze over.
Bake 50 - 60 minutes: Bake for 25 minutes, then turn and bake for a further 25 to 35 minutes, until the chicken is browned and the glaze is sticky. If the glaze is not syrupy, remove the chicken to a plate and put the pan back in for a few minutes (it will reduce quickly).
Squidge/coat chicken - Turn chicken and squidge in the glaze, then also spoon it over.
Serve! Serve with rice and steamed greens, sprinkled with sesame seeds and fresh cilantro/coriander leaves.
