Honey Soy Chicken - Marinade and Sauce (excellent grilled!)
Recipe video above. This is my premium recipe for Honey Soy chicken, a step up from this quick Honey Garlic Chicken and easy Baked Honey Soy Chicken, neither of which call for marinating. One mixture is used as a marinade, for basting, and also to make a fabulous glossy sauce to drizzle over the chicken and everything on your plate. It's especially good for grilling! (More BBQ recipes here) Pictured with Pineapple Fried Rice.Other chicken cuts - For wings, use the Honey Soy Wings recipe. For drumsticks and bone-in thighs, use the Honey Soy Baked Chicken recipe.
