FANTASTIC CHICKEN WINGS WITH HONEY-SOY GARLIC GLAZE
I have made these many times in the past for my parties and there is never any left everyone loves these and I always get asked for the recipe! If you are serving this for a get together I suggest to double the recipe to make 40 wings --- plan ahead the wings have to marinate for 24 hours, frozen thawed wings retain more moisture it is best to use fresh chicken for this --- make certain to have lots of napkins when you serve these!

CHICKEN SPRING ROLLS WITH GARLIC SOY DIPPING SAUCE
Healthy and tasty! Often when I go to make a new recipe, I'll search and find sometimes 3 or more that sound good. I'll then make a combination of them, more than likely adding or omitting a few ingredients to suit my palate. This is one of those times. I really liked the resulting spring rolls and I hope you do too! Make sure that if you don't want to cook the wrappers, you get the ones that can be soaked for a few seconds in water, then made into a wrap and eaten immediately.

BUTTER-ROASTED CHICKEN WITH SOY-GARLIC GLAZE
Steps:
- 1. Preheat the oven to 450°. Finely grind the cloves and 3 of the star anise pods in a spice grinder and transfer to a small bowl. Mix in the butter and season with salt and pepper. 2. In a small saucepan, combine the soy sauce, vinegar, ginger, garlic, sugar and the remaining 2 star anise pods. Cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until the glaze thickens, about 10 minutes. 3. Place the chicken on a rack set over a baking sheet. Beginning at the top of the breast, gently separate the chicken skin from the breast and thighs. Season the chicken cavity with salt and pepper. Rub the spiced butter under the skin, spreading it over the breast and thighs. Rub the canola oil all over the outside of the chicken and season with salt and pepper. Roast the chicken for 50 to 60 minutes, until golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh registers 165°. Brush the chicken all over with the soy glaze and let rest for 15 minutes. 4. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, using a wooden spoon, stir the flour and boiling water until a shaggy dough forms. Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth, about 5 minutes. Cut into 8 even pieces and roll into balls; keep covered with a damp paper towel. Using a lightly floured rolling pin, roll each piece of dough into an 1/8-inch-thick round. 5. Heat a griddle and brush it with sesame oil. Cook the pancakes, turning once, until golden in spots and cooked through, about 2 minutes. Transfer the pancakes to a plate and cover to keep warm. 6. Carve the chicken and serve with the warm pancakes, sliced cucumbers, sliced scallions and hoisin sauce. MAKE AHEAD The pancakes can be refrigerated overnight and rewarmed before serving.

Tips:
- Choose the right chicken: For best results, use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs. If using chicken breasts, pound them to an even thickness to ensure even cooking.
- Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is what gives the chicken its delicious flavor, so don't skimp on the ingredients. Use a combination of soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and brown sugar, and let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
- Cook the chicken over medium heat: Cooking the chicken over medium heat helps to prevent it from drying out. If you cook the chicken over high heat, it will brown quickly on the outside but remain raw on the inside.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: If you're cooking a lot of chicken, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
- Use a meat thermometer: The best way to ensure that the chicken is cooked through is to use a meat thermometer. Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken and cook until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Serve with your favorite sides: Garlic soy chicken can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, noodles, or vegetables. It also makes a great addition to a salad.
Conclusion:
Garlic soy chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With its flavorful marinade and succulent chicken, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy chicken recipe, give garlic soy chicken a try. You won't be disappointed!
