Honey Garlic Chicken

Chicken Quarters

This recipe makes use of whole or separated Chicken Quarters. Skin on or removed, whichever you prefer. If you remove the skin, place it into a Ziploc bag and freeze to render chicken fat out for other dishes.

If the Chicken Quarter contains the back bone, make sure you clean out the internal organs.

Honey Garlic Sauce

The Honey Garlic Sauce used for this recipe is the Quick Honey Garlic Sauce. Just throw everything into a saucepot, mix well and bring it to a boil and then pour over the chicken when ready.

The Quick Honey Garlic Sauce can be reduced to a thicker consistency by simmering it for about 3-5 minutes. If you find it is too thick after it has cooled down, add more water and whisk it in. Reheat Sauce again just before pouring over the Chicken if you have made the Sauce ahead of time. You want the Sauce to go on Hot.
