Baked Honey Chicken

I grew up with this chicken dish. Having a mother who went to a NHI for college is a blast because you get to experience nice cooking experiments from around the world as a child. I've experimented many versions of this honey chicken dish, and yet so far, the following recipe is a wonderful one. A lot of friends I've made this dish for are pleased with the result. I'm still experimenting with a simpler version, however, knowing this one already has big fans lining up for it, I think this dish is ready for the world. ;-)

8 pieces of chicken thigh (feel free to replace it with other chicken cuts. I just find this easier to manage)

3/4 cup honey

1/4 cup ketchup

1 tbsp chili sauce (optional)

2 tbsp indonesian sweet soy sauce

1 medium onion - quartered

1/2 bulb garlic

salt and black pepper

1/4 cup brown sugar

Heat the oven on 350-375 F. Mix all the condiment together and taste first (!). Feel free to add more stuff as necessary. When you're done, coat the chicken with the sauce. Place the chicken on the pan top-side up.Bake for 20 minutes. Turn the chicken and bake again for another 20 minutes. Turn the chicken again to darken the top surface for another 5 minutes. Remove completely from the oven.

Cool down for about 5 minutes and serve. Enjoy!

Note: best served with garlic meshed potatoes. yumm!
