It is necessary
- Products:
- • Chicken (drumsticks, wings, fillets, legs) - 1 kg
- • Tomato paste -1, 5-2 tbsp. spoons
- • Soy sauce 100-150 ml
- • A mixture of pepper or black and red ground pepper, 1/3 tsp.
- • 1-1.5 tablespoons of honey (can be substituted with sugar)
- • 2-3 tablespoons of vegetable oil
- Dishes
- • Pickling bowl
- • Frying pan (preferably with high sides)
Instructions
Step 1
Prepare the marinade first. To do this, combine soy sauce, honey, tomato paste and ground pepper in a bowl. If honey does not mix well with the general liquid, then it can be slightly warmed up in the microwave. But it is worth making sure that the honey does not boil!
Step 2
Prepare the chicken. If you use fillet, then cut it into small slices 2-3 cm wide, if ready-made drumsticks, chicken legs or wings, then it is enough to rinse them and dry them on a towel. If the chicken pieces are large, you can cut them into 2 pieces.
Step 3
Dip the chicken pieces into the sauce and stir. All pieces of meat should be sufficiently coated with marinade. Next, you need to place the marinated chicken under oppression for 40-60 minutes. During this time, pieces of meat are saturated with the mixture and acquire an unusual sweet-sour-salty taste.
Step 4
Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan with high sides. Lay out the marinated chicken and fry on one side for 7-10 minutes and turn over to the other. After that, the dish is ready and can be served with any side dish, be it rice, potatoes or green vegetables.
