Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
3 tablespoons peeled and finely chopped fresh ginger (from 1 [3- to 4-inch] piece)
1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic (from about 5 medium cloves)
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, drumsticks, or breasts, or a combination of all three

Steps:

  • 1. Place everything except the chicken in a 13-by-9-inch broiler-proof baking dish and whisk to combine. 2. Lay the chicken in a single layer in the marinade and turn to coat. Cover, refrigerate, and marinate at least 12 hours and up to 24 hours, turning the chicken at least once during the marinating time. 3. Remove the chicken from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, heat the oven to 475°F and arrange a rack in the middle. 4. Turn all the chicken pieces skin-side up in the dish (if you're using drumsticks, just turn to recoat them in the marinade). Bake until the chicken is starting to turn a dark brown color, about 40 minutes. 5. Set the oven to broil and broil until the chicken skin is crisped, about 3 to 5 minutes more. Serve with the sauce on the side.

Yield 4 People

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 tbsp soy sauce
2 tsp packed dark brown sugar
1 tbsp peeled and finely chopped fresh ginger
1 tsp chopped garlic
1 tsp toasted sesame oil
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
20 oz chicken breasts, pounded

Steps:

  • Spending a few minutes preparing a handful of ingredients for a marinade gives this dish tons of flavor, plus the bonus of a built-in sauce after the chicken is cooked. Just combine soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and a little brown sugar in a baking dish, add the chicken, and let it marinate in the fridge overnight. When you're ready to cook it, put the whole dish in the oven, and in 40 minutes you'll have crispy, saucy, flavorful chicken. (Note: If you're using a glass or ceramic baking dish, do not skip step 3 where you bring it up to room temperature before baking, or else your dish could crack!) Serve with rice and a quick vegetable side dish. Game plan: If you're using chicken breasts for this recipe, cut them in half crosswise before putting them in the marinade so they'll cook at the same rate as the rest of the chicken pieces.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken. Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs are the best choice for this recipe, as they will stay moist and flavorful during cooking.
  • Make sure the chicken is well-marinated. The longer the chicken marinates, the more flavorful it will be. If you don't have time to marinate the chicken for the full 24 hours, even a few hours will make a difference.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat. This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken. The chicken is done cooking when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

This Asian marinated chicken recipe is a delicious and easy way to make a flavorful and healthy meal. The chicken can be served with rice, noodles, or vegetables, and it is also great for meal prepping. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your Asian marinated chicken turns out perfectly every time.
