Honey & Soy Chicken

Yummy! Will try halving the sauce like Kulsha suggested next time. Found there was a bit too much, but its definitely a keeper

I just made this tonight using skinned thigh bits with no bones in it. All the kids loved it.  I think I 'heaped' my tablespoons of corn flour a little too much so I added a little extra water at the end and cooked it for another few minutes - so that is the only changed I'd make. 
My fussy 4 year old even gobbled it up! Thanks for the recipe, will now be on our fortnightly menu I think!
cheers Jo and Co

I was thinking of cooking the sauce from this recipe to reduce it slightly and then once cooled using it as a marinade for chicken thighs to be cooked tomorrow on the BBQ. Has anyone tried using the recipe as a marinade? Do others think this would work?

[DizzyGirl]

Wonder I can't see why it wouldn't work. I would perhaps leave the cornflour out though. I have never added cornflour to any of my marinades as I prefer it runny to really be able to soak into the meat.

[Wonder]

Sorry I should have added I won't be inlcuding the cornflour. I thought if I cooked and reduced slightly it might give a better marinade.

A couple of people suggested earlier that this is what they were going to do Wonder, it would have to work so give it a go and post some feedback please.

... or perhaps rather than reducing by cooking it down, reduce the quantity in recipe and add a dash more soy sauce?  ... I think it would make a lovely marinade, I love the sauce in this dish. Its one of our regulars.

[Wonder]

I'll give it a go tonight and post feedback on Wednesday after our BBQ tomorrow night.

Made this last week, was an absolute hit we had it with rice noodles(well DH did), and for the rest of us I used some left over 2 min noodles in the cupboard.  Yes there was a fair amount of sauce, but that just made our children scrap the plates to finish it off.

This tasted lovely as a marinade on grilled chicken. We had the chicked with salad and potato bake but it would be lovely with the marinade cooked to pour over rice.

Thanks Rainbow, we all enjoyed this quick & super easy recipe!
I used 500g of chicken with half the water, soy & honey.

Who's DD was it that says "Yum yum fairy's bum"? I can't remember now but we all shared that sentiment and more for this recipe!

A definite keeper! My DH made it and has noted some tweaks on his paper copy (less water, less cooking time for the chicken) but we all really, really, really enjoyed this meal.

That would be Spanner's daughter Kerryn.

Made this today for tonight's dinner, had to have a little try, boy is my family going to love this  will have it with rice and steam vegetables. It makes a lot of sauce which the rice is going to love 

[kaishra]

This dish is awesome

I've started meal planning again and this fortnight it's all going to be done in the TM, this was the first night.

We had it with rice and steamed vegies and it's all gone

We used about 500g chicken as that's what we divide our batches into and it worked well only cause hubby wasn't eating, when we do it next we'll tweak it and use 1kg so there's leftovers for lunch.

Very impressed.
