Roast Honey Sesame Chicken Food

HONEY & SOY CHICKEN WITH SESAME BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Mix the soy, honey, 1 tbsp of the oil and ½ tbsp garlic & ginger paste in a bowl. Pour over the chicken thighs and leave to marinate if you have time, but don't worry if not - they will be delicious either way. Tip the chicken with all the marinade into a roasting tin, skin-side up. Cook for 45 mins until sticky and the skin is crispy.
• When the chicken has 15 mins left, start cooking the rice following pack instructions, if using, and heat the remaining oil in a frying pan. Add the remaining garlic & ginger paste, sizzle for 1 min, then tip in the broccoli along with a splash of water. Cover and cook for 10 mins until tender, then take the lid off, tip the sesame seeds into the pan and give everything a good toss around. Season. Serve with the chicken, and all the caramelised bits from the bottom of the tin.

KOREAN CHILLI, SESAME & HONEY CHICKEN

Steps:

• Toss the chicken in the soy sauce, sesame oil and ginger. Thread each thigh on two long metal skewers, so that each skewer pierces one side of the thigh. Keep threading the chicken, making sure it's packed onto the skewers tightly. Chill until you're ready to cook. Mix the ingredients for the glaze.
• Heat the BBQ. If using a coal BBQ, wait for the coals to turn ashen before you start cooking. Cook the kebab for 5-8 mins on each side (depending on the heat). Once nicely charred but not fully cooked through, start painting on the glaze. The honey will catch if cooked for too long - the key to nice sticky chicken is applying the glaze in layers, turning the kebab often.
• Once the glaze has been used up and the chicken is cooked through (it'll take about 20 mins in total), transfer to a plate and leave to cool for 5 mins before serving scattered with spring onions.

HONEY SESAME GLAZE FOR ROAST CHICKEN

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients in a small bowl.
• Start roasting chicken as per your normal preferred method, don't glaze the chicken at the start because the skin will burn.
• Brush the glaze over the chicken when there is 30-45 minutes cooking time remaining. I normally do it with 45 minutes for a fairly dark crispy skin but you may prefer 30 for a lighter colour.

SESAME-ROASTED CHICKEN WITH BEAN PUREE

Steps:

• For the sesame-roasted chicken: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Whisk together the sesame oil, lime and orange juice, peanut butter, honey, soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of the sesame seeds and the hot sauce if using in a large bowl. Reserve half of the sauce in a small bowl, then toss the chicken with the remaining sauce. Transfer the chicken to a baking sheet and roast about 35 minutes.
• Meanwhile, toss the broccoli rabe in a medium bowl with the olive oil, remaining tablespoon sesame seeds and some salt and pepper. After the chicken has roasted for 35 minutes, add the broccoli rabe to the baking sheet with the chicken. Continue to roast until the chicken is cooked through and the thickest part of a thigh registers 160 degrees F, about 10 minutes more.
• For the bean puree: While the chicken is cooking, heat the olive oil in a small saucepan. Add the garlic and a pinch of salt and cook for 1 minute over low heat. Add the stock and beans, turn the heat to high and bring to simmer; simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and mash or puree until smooth.
• To serve, spread the bean puree on a plate, top with the chicken and broccoli rabe and drizzle with the reserved sauce. Garnish with cilantro if you have it.

SESAME CHICKEN

Steps:

• Wash the chicken under cold running water, pat dry and trim off any excess fat. Cut the chicken into 1-inch cubes and put into a large mixing bowl. Add the marinade ingredients to the bowl and stir to combine. Set aside to marinate while you prepare the sauce.
• To make the sauce: In a saucepan, add the sesame oil and set over low heat. Add the ginger and garlic and fry gently until fragrant, about 2 to 3 minutes. Meanwhile, combine the remaining sauce ingredients in a mixing bowl and stir well to dissolve the cornstarch. Gently pour into the saucepan with the fried ginger and garlic. Stir as you pour because the cornstarch will thicken up pretty quickly. Keep warm over low heat.
• In a heavy-bottomed pot or deep-fryer heat enough oil to come halfway up the sides of the pot, to 375 degrees F.
• Fry the chicken, in small batches, until golden and crispy, about 5 to 6 minutes. Remove the chicken using a wire mesh strainer and drain on paper towels. Season with a little salt, to taste. To serve, arrange the fried chicken on a platter and pour drizzle with the sauce. Sprinkle with a generous amount of toasted sesame seeds and garnish with scallions and cilantro sprigs.
