Honey Glazed Chicken
Serves 3 persons as a starter.
Ingredients:
- Chicken brest : 500gm (lean boneless cut)
- Honey (1/3 cup)
- Soya sauce (1/4 cup)
- Lemon (3 big ones) : crushed into juice
- Seasme seeds (til) : 3 spoonful
- Seasme oil (2 tsp)
- Red chili : 1 piece cut into stripes crushed
- black pepper : 4/5 seeds
- Mix the lemon juice, 1 tbsp of soya sauce and salt. Marinade the chicken well with this mixture for 4-5 hours (or better, overnight in the fridge).
- Defrost the marinaded chicken, bake in microwave at high temp for 5 minutes. Thus the chicken is half-cooked.
- Meanwhile make a mixture of the rest of soya sauce, honey, crushed pepper.
- Heat oil (seasme oil, but I couldn't managed it so used ghee or clarified butter). Roast the red chili stripes and seasme seeds until the seed start getting brown.
- Immediately pour the mixture into the pan and simmer for 2-3 minutes so that it starts thickening.
- Now add the baked chicken into the pan, and cook at low flame for few minutes. Keep checking and turn off the oven just when the gravy is thick enough. This will becom a sticky layer when cooled. Transfer into plate while hot.
