Ingredients:
- 3 lbs chicken (any combination -- ideal if they are similar sizes -- works great for thighs, but I've done a variety)
- 1/3 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup oil, such as light olive oil or peanut oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (or two garlic cloves, pressed)
- 2 teaspoons five spice powder
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon dry sherry
Preparation:
Combine all ingredients except chicken, and use as marinade. Then, marinate chicken at least an hour, but can marinate overnight. Bake in a 375 F. oven (baste once or twice), or grill, for about 45 minutes or until done.
We really LOOOOOOOOOOVED this recipe! The flavor goes all the way into the middle of the chicken. I used chicken thighs... spent a lot of time trimming fat, next time should try leaving fat on and using no oil.
ReplyDeleteAlso, the marinade with dark soy sauce comes out quite dark, and cooks to look like charcoal even though nothing has burned. If want to improve aesthetic, can opt to use a lighter soy sauce.
