I stumbled upon the most appetizing chicken recipe recently on a food blog called The Mess Pot by Jade. Jade describes herself as a Southern Cook living in Northern Illinois, married to the man of her dreams. So sweet - ahhh, to be a newlywed again!Anyway, Jade's recipe is called Sunshine Chicken, but when my kids walked in the door while this was cooking, they immediately asked if we were having Chinese for dinner. So, considering the fact that I tweaked the original recipe a bit, I'm renaming it Asian Baked Chicken.
I used boneless, skinless chicken thighs - they're cheap and easy (not admirable qualities in most cases, but here it works). I hope you'll give this recipe a try!
Makes 3 pounds
3 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1/2 cup ketchup
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Preheat oven to 350F. In a medium bowl, make the glaze by combining the ketchup, honey, soy, and garlic powder. Mix and set aside.
Place boneless, skinless chicken thighs on a cooling rack suspended over rimmed sheet tray (you may want to cover your tray with foil for easy cleanup). Season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. Place chicken pieces onto the cooling rack, presentation side up, and brush with glaze; bake for a total of 45 minutes, basting with additional glaze every 15 minutes.

looks delicious! it's always perplex me to hear that the chicken thighs are cheaper cos in Asia, that's the expensive part. The chicken breast nobody wants to eat here..lol!
ReplyDeleteIsn't that funny - it's the complete opposite here. Chicken thighs are highly under rated if you ask me... they're practically goof proof!

Beautiful photo! What kind of lighting did you use?
ReplyDeleteHaha - thanks so much Kathleen. Believe it or not, it was night time so I took the photo on my stove top, under the fume hood lights. I'm sure daylight would have been much better.
ReplyDeleteAnd the quinoa on the plate looks very appetizing.
ReplyDeleteIt's one of my favorite grains.
Despite what I read about only using natural lighting, I get some good photos under a light at my stove. And sometimes, a flash is the only option.
ReplyDeleteI know... I need a more dependable lighting source, since most of my cooking and baking happens in the evening hours.
ReplyDeleteAs for the Quinoa, I love it. I'm sure you see it a lot in Mexico, but here it's not very widely known. I'll do a post about it next week sometime.

ReplyDeleteLooks simple and good.
nothing like a 5 ingredient entree - that's a keeper!
ReplyDeletePatricia,
ReplyDeleteI wish quinoa was common here, but it is not. It is from South America, grown in the Andes. I have to bring it back in my luggage when I visit the States, and hope the food inspectors don't find it. Last year, they were so distracted by all my new cake pans, that they never noticed my lemons!
What a fantastic meal!
ReplyDeleteSo simple but delicious!
ReplyDeletethis look simple to cook and delicious!
ReplyDeleteyum yummy..this sounds deelish. i'm always looking for new chicken ideas and this one sounds great for the whole family...specially for those who can't handle the HEAT.
ReplyDeleteIt is a fantastic recipe, I love Asian food, I love how they incorporate some ingredients and some sauces that makes the food delicious.
