Sticky Chicken Recipe - Authentic Australian Flavor

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 kg chicken thighs (skin-on, bone-in for best flavor)
  • 1 cup soy sauce (preferably low sodium)
  • 1 cup honey (for sweetness and stickiness)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (for cooking)
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger (grated)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper (to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
  • 2 green onions sliced (for garnish)
  • 1 lime juiced (for added zest)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, olive oil, garlic, and ginger. Mix well.

    Let the marinade sit for 10 minutes to enhance the flavors.
  2. Marinate the Chicken

    Place the chicken thighs in a zip-lock bag or bowl and pour the marinade over them. Seal and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

    Longer marination enhances flavor.
  3. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

    Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
  4. Bake the Chicken

    Place the marinated chicken on a baking tray lined with foil. Bake for 30-35 minutes, basting halfway through with the marinade.

    Basting helps achieve a sticky coating.
  5. Serve and Garnish

    Once cooked, remove from the oven, sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve with lime juice.

    Serve with rice or salad for a complete meal.

💡 Tips & Tricks

Use fresh ingredients for best flavor. Experiment with different herbs in the marinade. Pair with steamed vegetables for a healthier option.
