This chicken has wonderful flavor, especially when marinated. Serve it with rice and a veggie.
3 lb. chicken thighs (or any chicken you prefer)
6 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 small onion, grated or minced
¼ c. soy sauce
⅓ c. ketchup
⅓ c. + 1 T. honey
pinch red pepper flakes
1 T. rice wine vinegar
1½ T. brown sugar
Sauce on the side:
2 T. cornstarch
drippings from the baking dish
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Wash chicken and pat dry with paper towels.
In a glass 9 x 10 inch baking dish, stir together all ingredients except for the chicken. Combine well.
Place chicken into the baking dish; spoon some of the mixture over each piece, or marinate the chicken in the mixture ahead of time if preferred.
Bake 45 - 60 minutes.
When chicken is done, remove it from the baking dish; place on a serving platter.
Sauce on the side:
Skim the fat off the top of the drippings. Combine about ¼ of the drippings and the cornstarch in a small dish; set aside. Mix using a whisk or a fork to make sure there are no lumps. Pour the remaining drippings into a sauce pot; bring to a boil. Add the cornstarch mixture; lower the heat. Stir constantly until the sauce reaches the desired consistency. Remove from the heat. Serve with the chicken.
