Soy sauce came to European cooking from Asian cuisine and immediately gained popularity, especially in diet food. Its salty taste is due to the high content of glutamines, which makes it possible to exclude from the diet not always useful edible salt. Soy sauce is added to various dishes instead of salt; marinades for meat, fish and poultry are prepared on its basis. Properly cooked chicken in soy sauce can decorate the festive table and diversify the daily menu.
It is necessary
-
- hen;
- soy sauce;
- ground red pepper;
- honey;
- ginger root;
- garlic;
- lemon.
Instructions
Step 1
For cooking, choose a medium-sized chicken, weighing no more than 1.5 kg. Rinse it thoroughly in cold water. Remove excess neck skin. Pat dry with a cotton towel.
Step 2
Prepare the sauce. Peel the ginger root and grate it on a fine grater. Take 4 tablespoons of soy sauce and add one teaspoon of minced ginger. Put one tablespoon of honey and ¼ teaspoon of red ground pepper there. Mix everything thoroughly. Rub the carcass with the resulting marinade, put half a lemon inside and leave in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours. Then remove the chicken and place it on the baking sheet.
Step 3
Bake in an airfryer or oven until cooked through. From time to time, water the chicken with the secreted liquid, then you can get an even golden crust. Check the readiness by piercing the carcass with a fork or knife. If a light liquid is released, then your dish is ready. If the chicken is covered with a crispy crust, but is not yet ready, proceed as follows. Cover the poultry with cling foil and continue cooking, lowering the oven temperature slightly.
Step 4
Serve boiled rice, mashed potatoes, French fries as a side dish for chicken in soy sauce. If you cook it in a baking sleeve, then at the same time you can put large potatoes cut into halves in it. When serving, garnish the chicken dish with lemon wedges and parsley.
