Roasted Chicken with a Soy, Ginger, Honey Glaze

If it's one thing that I absolutely love, it's Asian flavors on chicken. This glaze can be put on pork if you would like, or a good steak. This time I just chose to put this on chicken, considering chicken is like a blank canvas to bring out flavor. This is a fairly simple recipe and is rather quick to do. This only takes about an hour. Here are some of the things you will need.

1 large package of Chicken Legs or Thighs
2 Tbsp Italian Seasoning
1 tsp cajun seasoning
1 tsp garlic powder

1/2 cup natural ketchup(no corn syrup)
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 Tbsp sugar
1 Tbsp ground ginger
1 Tbsp honey
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp Red pepper flakes

Preheat oven to 375ºF. Place chicken on a flat broiler pan, or in a roasting pan with a chilling track underneath it. This way, the chicken fat can drip off. Combine herbs and spices together and sprinkle on oiled chicken. This will season the chicken while roasting. Cover pan with foil and place the chicken in the oven for 45 minutes. After 45 minutes, remove the chicken, uncover, and set it back in the oven on the broil setting for an additional 5-7 minutes. While that crisps the skin a little bit, you're going to mix the 2nd group of ingredients together. This is a very thin and sticky glaze. When you take the chicken out of the oven. Place the pieces in a large mixing bowl and drizzle the glaze onto the chicken. Roll the chicken in the glaze until fully coated. Place the chicken on a plate and serve. You're good to go and enjoy a wonderful meal. I served this with crispy hashbrowns and sweet honey glazed carrots. This is virtually easy to do if you can get the timing right. Just remember, cooking is easy. All it takes is a little bit of this and that and trying out different combinations of flavors. Just be patient and love your food. Take it easy.
