This stuff was so good, the entire dish was served out and wiped clean in 5 mins flat. And it was so easy to make. Technically, I saw a recipe on the net for ginger honey glaze barbecue chicken breasts, but I'm not fond of loads of ginger and my family prefers a recipe with gravy. And it tastes better with the gravy on rice and the glazed chicken on the side. Trust me on this.
Ingredients
1/3 cup honey
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup oyster sauce (to increase thickness)
corn flour (OPTIONAL : use only if your sauce refuses to thicken)
1/3 cup brown cooking vinegar (seems to make a difference in taste)
4 cloves garlic, crushed
24 oz chicken breast (I used all normal chicken pieces)
Directions
1. Combine the honey, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic in a small saucepan. Cook over high heat until the mixture reduces by half. Let cool.
2. Stab the chicken with a fork or knife (yikes! I've made it sound so brutal!) and pour the mix on it. rub the sauce into the chicken and leave to marinate. I prefer to leave it for an hour or so, but I know for a fact that over night marination works best.
3. (An hour later) sprinkle half a tsp of salt and half tsp of pepper on chicken and then take a wok and add a little oil. Put in on the gas.
4. Once heated, add the chicken mixture and cook with a lid on. (saves time). But DO NOT COOK IT ON HIGH FLAME. (you'll just burn the whole thing). Check every 5 mins. If its dry add a little water (that's right. Learn to use your instincts for once)
5. Leave on the stove till chicken is cooked and the sauce is rich and thick. If the sauce isn't thick, add the corn flour mix. (I say mix because, never forget to mix it in a little milk before adding corn flour to ANY recipe. You don't want to mess up, do you?)
6. Serve with steamed rice (brown is preferred) and serve hot!
