Provided by Tom Kerridge

Categories     Dinner

Time 2h30m

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 chicken (about 2kg)
small piece of ginger, peeled and finely grated (peel reserved)
1 tsp Chinese five-spice powder
3 garlic cloves, finely grated
1 tbsp Shaohsing wine or dry sherry
2 tbsp soy sauce
150ml chicken stock
1 tbsp honey
3 tbsp soy sauce
2 star anise
2 Little Gem lettuces, leaves separated
1 bunch of spring onions, trimmed and finely shredded
½ cucumber, cut into thin strips
1 red chilli, sliced
small bunch of coriander, chopped
50g roasted peanuts or cashews, roughly chopped
cooked rice, to serve

Steps:

  • Combine the marinade ingredients in a small bowl. Sit the chicken in a casserole dish, rub the marinade all over, and put the ginger peel in the cavity. Cover and leave at room temperature to marinate for 1 hr, or in the fridge overnight.
  • Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Mix the stock ingredients in a jug, then pour over the chicken. Roast for 1 hr, uncovered, then baste with the liquid in the dish. Roast for 30-40 mins more, basting every 10 mins, until the chicken is deep brown. Keep an eye on the glaze in the base of the dish - you may need to add a splash of water to keep it from burning.
  • Leave the chicken to rest for 20 mins, then transfer to a board. Skim the fat from the juices, bring to the boil, then turn off the heat. Shred the thigh and leg meat and wrap in the lettuce leaves along with the spring onions, cucumber, chilli, coriander and nuts. Slice the breast meat and serve withthe rice and warm roasting juices.

HONEY-AND-SOY-GLAZED CHICKEN THIGHS



Honey-and-Soy-Glazed Chicken Thighs image

In this simple weeknight recipe, chicken thighs are tossed with a sweet-salty glaze made of honey and soy sauce that caramelizes into a sticky coating as it roasts in the oven. Serve the sliced chicken with bibb lettuce cups for wrapping, or over steamed rice to catch all the juices. Leftovers can be chopped and combined with vegetables for a tasty clean-out-the-fridge fried rice.

Categories     dinner, easy, lunch, weeknight, poultry, main course

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons canola oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced ginger
6 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce (see tip)
5 tablespoons mild honey, such as clover, acacia or orange blossom
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
Kosher salt and black pepper
8 small bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 3 pounds)
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3 minutes. Add the soy sauce and honey and simmer, stirring occasionally, until reduced and slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. (You'll want to cook attentively for this step, as the syrupy mixture can burn if it cooks too long.) Turn off the heat then whisk in the butter. Season with salt and pepper.
  • On an aluminum foil-lined rimmed baking sheet, season the chicken all over with salt and pepper. Add half the glaze and the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and toss the chicken to coat. Arrange in an even layer, skin side up, and roast until browned, 15 minutes. Brush the chicken all over with 2 tablespoons of the remaining glaze. Roast until golden and cooked through, about 10 minutes.
  • Drizzle the chicken with the remaining glaze and serve with lemon wedges.

SAUTEED CHICKEN BREASTS WITH SOY GLAZE



Sauteed Chicken Breasts With Soy Glaze image

This is a fabulously easy recipe. I adapted it from Mark Bittman's How to Cook Everything. The recipe calls for marinated chicken thighs. I made the recipe faster using chopped chicken breasts and not marinating. I think marinating would add to the taste, but not measurably. The sauce might be improved by adding some cornstarch to thicken it. I didn't mind a thin sauce.

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 20m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 cup soy sauce (low-sodium recommended)
1/3 cup water
1/4 cup mirin (sweet rice wine)
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil

Steps:

  • Cook the chicken in oil in a large skillet until done.
  • Remove from the pan and turn the heat to medium-low.
  • Mix the first four ingredients.
  • Add to skillet and let bubble for 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Return the chicken to the skillet, turn the heat to high, and cook, stirring frequently, until much of the liquid has evaporated.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality soy sauce. This is the key ingredient in the glaze, so make sure you use a brand that you trust.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different flavors. You can add garlic, ginger, or chili to the glaze to give it a more complex flavor.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through. This will ensure that it is safe to eat and that the glaze has had a chance to penetrate the meat.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides. Rice, noodles, or vegetables are all great options.

Conclusion:
