Honey Soy Chicken
I am not sure why I have not published this recipe previously as it is constantly on our menu. It sits with Spaghetti Bolognese, Tuna Bake and home made Pizza as a meal guaranteed to please my children. It is very simple to make and is also a wonderful entertaining staple of entertaining food that is guaranteed to disappear off the plate fast! Finger food at it’s best. This recipe is also handy to make for a picnic, or make extras for school lunch boxes as they are just as good cold as they are hot.
I have a feeling that I did not publish it as I am not sure where the recipe came from. I think it is one my mum uses. I am unsure of the origin of the original recipe if this is the case. I have tweaked it over the years and this is the resulting version I usually make.

Recipe Notes
This recipe is started the day prior to cooking
Three hours of marinating time is not included in the timing summary of this recipe.
If the weather is cool you may need to warm the honey to allow it to be well combined with the other marinate ingredients.
Cook time will vary depending on the cut of chicken that you choose.
Test for readiness by inserting a skewer into the thickest part of the meat. Remove the skewer and if the juice runs clear the chicken is cooked.
Add these sticky little chicken morsels to your menu this Christmas and beyond.

Mmm, this sounds and looks fantastic. 🙂 I grew up making a similar version but without the soy/Worcestershire. I will love to try this. 🙂
Great chicken dish, Kyrstie. Your marinade sounds totally yummy! I have a similar dish, except I use Tamari sauce and a whole lot of other ‘secret’ ingredients… like you, I have yet to publish my version. Happy cooking, my friend.
