Best Roast Chicken With Chutney Honey And Soy Glaze Recipes

HONEY-AND-SOY-GLAZED CHICKEN THIGHS

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.

SOY-GLAZED ROAST CHICKEN

Steps:

• About 30 minutes before roasting, bring the chickens to room temperature. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Combine the vegetable oil, 2 teaspoons salt, the white pepper, coriander and five-spice powder in a small bowl; rub all over the chickens. Tie the legs together with kitchen twine and tuck the wings under the body.
• Arrange the chickens breast-side up on a rack set on a rimmed baking sheet or in a shallow roasting pan, leaving a bit of space between them. Roast until the skin is slightly golden and crisp, about 1 hour.
• Make the glaze: Combine the honey, soy sauce, ginger and sesame oil in a small bowl. Increase the oven temperature to 400 degrees F. Brush the chickens all over (including the underside) with half of the glaze. Continue roasting, brushing with the remaining glaze halfway through, until the skin is deep golden brown and crisp and a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh registers 165 degrees F, about 20 more minutes.
• Remove the chickens from the oven; transfer to a cutting board or platter. Pour the pan drippings into a small bowl; skim off any excess fat. Brush the chickens with the pan drippings and let rest 15 minutes. Sprinkle the chickens with the scallions and sesame seeds. Remove the twine and carve the chickens; serve with any remaining pan drippings.

ROAST CHICKEN WITH CHUTNEY, HONEY AND SOY GLAZE

Steps:

• In a blender, blend the chutney, soy sauce, honey, ginger, lemon zest, lemon juice and Tabasco until smooth.
• In a pan large enough to hold chicken pieces, pour marinade over chicken, cover and chill, for at least 6 hours or overnight.
• Arrange the chicken, skin side up, on a well-buttered rack over a roasting pan (or on bbq grill), reserving the marinade, and roast, in a preheated 400F (190C) oven, basting it 4 times with the reserved marinade, for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until cooked through.
