Sticky Korean Chicken recipe owes it delicious taste to a flavorful marinade bursting with sweet, sour and savory notes. For best results, marinate at least 2 hours or overnight.

Prep Time

    •    Prep time: 10 minutes
    •    Cook time: 40 minutes
    •    Yield: Serves 6


Ingredients

For the Marinade:

    •    1/2 cup honey
    •    4 cloves garlic
    •    1/4 cup soy sauce
    •    1 tbsp vegetable oil
    •    1/2-1 tsp red chilli flakes
    •    1 tbsp grated fresh ginger

For the Korean Chicken:

    •    4 green onions
    •    3 lbs chicken legs
    •    1 tbsp sesame seeds

Method

1. In a large bowl combine honey, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, oil and red chilli flakes.
   
   
2. Then add chicken pieces, making sure chicken is fully submerged in the marinade. Cover with a lid or plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least two hours or overnight.
3. Preheat the oven to 375F/200C. Take the chicken pieces out of the marinade and place them on parchment lined shallow baking pan. Reserve the marinade.
4. Cook the chicken in the oven for 35-40 minutes or until juices run clear and the skin is dark and slightly blistered. (Internal temperature 180F/82C) Baste with the marinade half way through the cooking for deeper flavour.
5. Take the chicken out of the oven and remove to a serving plate, sprinkle with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
