LEMON-SOY CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Note: I had to put counts in the ingredients list for the recipe to be accepted, but this recipe works for any amount of wings.
• Cut up chicken wings into segments if necessary. Place in a suitable container for marinating.
• Mix soy sauce and lemon juice in equal parts, making enough to completely cover chicken wings in their container.
• Marinate in refrigerator overnight, but no longer than 24 hours.
• Drain wings and discard marinade.
• Arrange wings in a single layer on a baking sheet or sheet pan. Use foil if you want to save elbow grease cleaning the pan later. Depending upon the number of wings, make multiple batches.
• Place wings under preheated broiler, about 6 to 8 inches from unit.
• Broil on each side until you think you've burnt them. Really. These are best when they are very dark brown, just before they really start to burn. For my broiler, this is about 10 minutes per side.
• Be prepared to make these for every holiday party you will every attend again. Your hosts will demand it.
• Frozen chicken wing segments (thawed) seem to actually work out better than fresh. Go figure.
• Reconstituted lemon juice is fine.

KOREAN STYLE BRAISED CHICKEN IN SOY, LEMON, AND GINGER SAUCE RECIPE - (4/5)

Steps:

• Mix soy sauce, wine, oil and ginger. Add 1 teaspoon of sugar if you like sweet flavors. Clean chicken. Remove excess fat and poke a few times with your knife. Place chicken in large Ziploc bag with the soy ginger sauce. Massage chicken in the soy ginger sauce and let it marinate for 2 hours at room temperature. Preheat oven to 350° F. In a heavy pan or Dutch oven large enough to hold all the chicken in a single layer, heat 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil over medium high heat. When oil is hot, sear chicken pieces, skin side down for 4 to 5 minutes or more until golden brown. Turn over and brown the other side for another 4 minutes until golden brown. Remove chicken and set aside. With the pan still hot, add onion slices and lemon slices. Cook until onions have wilted and brown bits on bottom of pan have loosened. 5-7 minutes. Turn heat off. Place chicken pieces, skin-side up on top of onion mixture. Pour juice of 1/2 lemon and 1 tablespoon of sake or mirin on top. Transfer pan to oven and bake for 40 - 45 minutes. Serve on top of rice and sprinkle with the green onion.

SOY-HONEY CHICKEN WITH LEMON BROCCOLI RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a bowl, toss chicken with garlic, a generous pinch of black pepper, orange zest and half the lemon zest. Rub seasoning all over chicken. In a medium baking dish, mix soy sauce, honey and lemon juice until honey dissolves. Lay chicken in marinade, flesh-side down, and marinate at least 10 minutes. (If marinating more than 1 hour, make sure marinade doesn't cover skin.) Remove chicken from marinade and transfer to a roasting pan, skin-side up. Lightly brush marinade over chicken, then transfer to oven. Reserve marinade. Roast until just cooked through, about 25 minutes. Brush chicken with marinade twice during roasting. Meanwhile, toss broccoli with olive oil and a pinch of salt. Place in a microwave-safe bowl and cover tightly with two layers of plastic wrap. Microwave on high until broccoli is tender but still has some crunch, 2-3 minutes. Transfer broccoli to a serving bowl. Top with remaining lemon zest. Serve broccoli alongside chicken. Drizzle chicken pan juices over top.
