What is a chicken dish for Nasi Lemak that is not spicy and can be done with the basic ingredients available in the kitchen? I found Ina Garten’s Indonesian Garlic Ginger Chicken that needed only honey, soy sauce, garlic and ginger! I picked up a 4-lb chicken from the store, and the rest is easy peasy. Thanks for the simple, easy, and no mess recipe. Next time, I will add a splash of sesame oil and brandy to it to add even more punch to the dish.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup honey
- 3/8 cup soy sauce
- 1/8 cup minced garlic
- 1/4 cup grated ginger
- 1 4-lb chicken, cut into 8 pieces
- Splash of sesame oil and brandy (optional)
Directions
- Cook honey, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger in a medium sauce pan over medium heat until honey is melted.
- Arrange chicken pieces in a baking dish, skin-side down. Pour honey mixture over it. Cover with foil and refrigerate overnight.
- Remove chicken from the refrigerator an hour before roasting to bring it to room temperature.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Roast chicken, covered, for 30 minutes.
- Raise temperature to 375 degrees F at the end of 30 minutes.
- Remove foil and flip chicken over so that it is skin-side up.
- Roast uncovered for another 30 minutes.
- Set oven to broil briefly if you want to skin to char a little more.
- Remove to serving dish. Serve the dripping as sauce over the chicken.
