Baked Spicy Honey Chicken

This particular dish was made out of urgency, because i was i was running super short of time. Few of my friends were supposed to drop down at my place, and so i had to cook for them. But, got super duper late from office that day, so alongside other dishes, which only and only consisted of starters, this was another addition.

My mom had often made chicken in microwave but. i had never tried it before. This seemed like an easy and yumm fuss free recipe. for all those people, who like me, are not so good at managing their time effectively. The best part about this is, that it hardly takes any time for cooking, no prior marination required, and the ingrediants can be easily found at home. Moreover, while this is cooking in the microwave, you can go around completing your other jobs, like i did.

The list of humble ingrediants are as follows, and trust me, you will be surprised yourself, to see the name.

INGREDIANTS:


  • Chicken drumstick       :  250 gm
  • Honey                         : 4 tbsp
  • Salt                             : to taste
  • Chilli flakes                 : to taste ( i added a generous pinch)
  • Pepper powder           :  1 1/4 tsp (freshly pounded)
  • Olive oil                      : 1 1/2 tbsp
  • Garlic cloves               : 2 nos, grated


METHOD:

  • wash the chicken properly and keep aside.
  • Mix all the above ingrediants together in a bowl. You can even taste a bit to see if it is to your liking.
  • Add the chicken pieces and mix well.


  • Preheat the oven at 190 degree C.
  • Put all this in an ovenprof dish, keeping a gap approx 1 cm between the chicken pieces. 
  • Cook them at 190 degrees for around 20-25 mins.
  • once out of the oven , transfer to the serving plate and scarp the masala and juices from the dish and put of top. That's where all the flavours are!!!!


Isn't it easy people?? I know it is.... You can also add a twist by wrapping the chicken pieces with bacan, but since my guests didn't like bacon, so i had to give it a miss. Also for the lovers of sweet & sour, you can always add in a bit of tamarind. Though i didn't add but adding a bit of onions can also impart a body to the dish. Charred & grilled onions in this sauce will be a treat for your taste buds as well.

A nice dip can go well with this, but i had served it as it is!!!

A perfect recipe for kittie parties, small gathering with friends. Fuss free & yumm.....
Try it!!
