I discoverd a version of this recipe in 1983, tweaked it just a little, and it's been a favorite ever since.

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1/3 c lite soy sauce
2 Tbsp olive or canola oil
2 Tbsp bottled chili sauce
1/4 c honey
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1-2 lb chicken tenderloins or wings

Steps:

1. In small bowl, combine first 8 ingredients; mix well. Place desired amount of chicken in large/gallon sized baggie. Pour marinade into baggie making sure that all chicken is coated. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
2. Spray broiler pan with non-stick spray. Place marinaded chicken,in a single layer, on broiler pan and bake in 375-degree oven for approximated 15-20 minutes (or until done); turning once and basting every 5-minutes with remaining marinade.

Tips:

To make sure the chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C).

If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check if the chicken is cooked by cutting into the thickest part of the chicken breast. If the juices run clear, the chicken is cooked.

For a crispier chicken, fry it in a shallow pool of oil instead of deep-frying it.

To make the glaze, you can use any type of jam or jelly that you like. Apricot jam, orange marmalade, and pineapple jam are all popular choices.

If you don't have any cornstarch, you can use flour as a thickener for the glaze.

Serve the chicken with rice, noodles, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Glazed oriental chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is crispy and flavorful, and the glaze is sweet and tangy. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
