Directions
-
Place the cut-up chicken pieces in a large resealable plastic bag.
-
In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, dry sherry, grated ginger, and crushed garlic until well combined.
-
Pour the marinade over the chicken in the bag, sealing tightly and turning to coat all pieces evenly.
-
Refrigerate the chicken, turning the bag occasionally, for at least 6 hours to allow flavors to penetrate.
-
Preheat the oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC). Line a broiler pan or baking sheet with foil and set a wire rack on top.
-
Remove chicken from the marinade, shaking off excess, and reserve the leftover marinade. Discard any marinade that has touched raw chicken if not boiled later.
-
Arrange chicken pieces on the wire rack in a single layer.
-
Cover the chicken loosely with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
-
Remove foil, brush chicken generously with reserved marinade, and return to oven.
-
Bake uncovered for 30 to 45 minutes, brushing with marinade every 10 minutes, until chicken is cooked through and glaze is sticky and golden.
