In soy-honey sauce - an elementary dish to prepare, you only need 30 minutes, cook in a pan. No special culinary skills required. It's almost impossible to spoil. The name sounds a little exotic for Russian cuisine, but do not be afraid of this: taste will delight you with a combination of tradition and originality. Despite the presence of honey in the ingredients, the dish will not be sweet.

Chicken legs will retain their juiciness, acquire unrepeatable aroma, the view will also be quite appetizing. In principle, these do not have to be exactly the legs, you can use any parts of the chicken, you can just cut the whole chicken into portioned pieces (just do not make the pieces very large, you need them so that they can quickly fry). The legs for this dish are our personal choice, you can try differently. What is definitely desirable to have is a thick-bottomed frying pan that heats up evenly and saves the dish from sticking. If your pan also has a non-stick coating, this is perfect!

Necessary:

  • Chicken legs - about 1 kilogram (8-9 legs)
  • Soy sauce (classic) - 6 tablespoons
  • Ketchup (no starch added, can be spicy, can be regular tomato) - 4 tablespoons
  • Honey (better, of course, liquid, not sugared) - 2 tablespoons
  • Mustard (we took the usual "Russian") - 2 teaspoons
  • Garlic - 3-4 cloves
  • Table salt - about 1/3 of a teaspoon (salt is generally optional and with care, since soy sauce is quite salty, we often do not add salt, and if we add - no more than the specified amount)
  • Vegetable oil - 1-2 tablespoons

Preparation:


Prepare all the ingredients for the sauce: ketchup, honey, soy sauce, mustard, garlic - and a small bowl.


We spread all the prepared ingredients for the sauce in the specified amount (all spoons can be filled "with a slide") in a bowl (the garlic must be passed through a special "crusher", or rubbed on a fine grater, or, in extreme cases, cut very finely). We mix everything thoroughly (a spoon is enough, a mixer is not needed: everything is mixed easily) until a homogeneous mass is achieved. The sauce is ready.


Wash the chicken legs with cold running water and pat them dry with a paper towel or napkin. We don’t salt, we don’t pepper, we don’t do anything with them.


Heat the pan well, pour a little vegetable oil into the pan and put the chicken legs there. Fry the legs over high heat (heat, if the stove is electric) without a lid for about 5 minutes - until slightly golden brown.


Turn the chicken legs over and fry them on the other side for another 5 minutes - also until golden brown.


Fill the legs in a frying pan with the cooked soy-honey sauce and stir to “coat” the legs with the sauce on all sides.


Reduce heat (heat) under the pan to medium and simmer the chicken legs in the sauce for about 15-17 minutes. Do not cover the pan with a lid. In the process of stewing, you need to turn the legs in a frying pan 2 more times so that they are fried evenly.

The main character of today's dish will be chicken legs in honey-soy sauce in the oven, the recipe with a photo of which is presented below. But what is the main thing there - by and large, the legs will be his only hero. The rest of the ingredients (and their set is minimal) will complement the chicken, place the necessary accents and give the necessary flavor palette. Of course, this dish will require a certain amount of time to prepare. Namely - an hour and a half. But there will be no more active actions here than 7 minutes.

Ingredients:

  • chicken drumsticks - 1 kg
  • soy sauce - 3 tablespoons
  • honey - 1 tablespoon with a slide
  • vegetable oil for lubricating the mold

Preparation:

The first thing I did was to prepare the marinade. I poured the right amount of soy sauce into an easy-to-cook dish.



Mix thoroughly until honey is completely dissolved in soy sauce. Marinade is ready!

Now it's up to the legs - I washed them well with cool running water.

I laid it out for the marinade. Mixed thoroughly. This must be done so that all surfaces of the legs are covered with marinade.

The first stage is complete, the bowl should be left in the cold for at least 40 minutes, or even longer. Stir the legs periodically in a bowl.

After the time has elapsed, she greased the refractory mold with vegetable oil.


I laid out the legs in it - you need to do this in one layer, but tightly to each other.


I also used the remaining marinade - I poured it directly into the mold to the chicken legs.


I sent the drumsticks into an oven preheated to 180-200 degrees and baked until tender - approximately it should take about 40 minutes, but look at your oven.

About 20 minutes after being sent to the oven, I took out the form and liberally greased the top of the legs with the resulting juice.


I returned it to the oven and took it out after another 20 minutes. I checked the readiness with a toothpick - if a clear liquid flows out, then the dish is ready. Otherwise, the cooking time should be increased.

She let the ready-made chicken legs stand for another 10 minutes, just in shape. This is necessary so that the chicken is properly saturated with juices.


It turned out to be unusually tasty and juicy dish! Serve it well with fresh vegetables and greens.

Bon Appetit!
