Honey Glazed Chicken

Honey Glazed Chicken is a delightful Halal Chinese BBQ dish featuring tender chicken pieces caramelized in a sweet and savory honey sauce. This dish offers a perfect balance of flavors, making it a favorite among those who enjoy authentic Chinese cuisine.

Ingredients

• Chicken thighs - 300 grams, boneless and skinless
• Honey - 2 tablespoons
• Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons (ensure it's halal)
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
• Rice vinegar - 1 tablespoon
• Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Green onions - 2, chopped (for garnish)

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
2. Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Allow it to marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for more flavor).
3. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
4. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Reserve the marinade for basting.
5. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, basting with the reserved marinade every few minutes until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice glaze.
6. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.
7. Slice the chicken and serve it garnished with chopped green onions.
