Sweet Sticky Chicken Breasts Recipes

STICKY HONEY SOY CHICKEN - BAKED

Steps:

• Preheat 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.

SWEET & STICKY CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Combine the balsamic vinegar, honey, brown sugar, soy sauce, rosemary sprigs, and garlic cloves in a large ziploc bag.
• Shake and squeeze the contents of the bag to dissolve the brown sugar and honey.
• Add the breasts to the bag and seal, squeezing out as much air as you can.
• Marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 450*F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Remove the chicken from the bag, reserving the marinade, and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake until the skin is carmelized and very dark in spots, 30-35 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place the marinade in a small saucepan.
• Bring the marinade to a boil, then reduce the heat to simmer and cook over low heat until thick, about 15 minutes.
• Use a pastry brush to brush some of the cooked marinade on the cooked chicken.
• Place the cooked chicken on a serving platter.
• If using, sprinkle the sesame seeds and parsely over the chicken.
