Meat : Noodles : Veggies :What the baked chicken should have looked like...

In my 4th post, I mentioned about baked chicken and how disappointingly hard they were, here are some pics of what baked chicken should look like, although these are chicken drumsticks while the previous post's one is chicken breast.



Actually the marinate for both chicken is the same, but I have no idea why the outcome is so different.. Haha
Anyway, you may want to try this marinate next time when you are baking chicken.

Baked Chicken
Chinese Style (1 large drumstick ) **Amount is based on rough estimates**
+ Salt (A pinch)
+ Pepper (A pinch)
+ Sugar (1 teaspoon)
+ Honey ( I like to add more honey in my marinate, but it's up to personal preference)
+ Light soy sauce (2 teaspoon)
+ Dark soy sauce (1 teaspoon)
+ Sesame seed oil (2 teaspoons) *I like the taste of this, so I usually add quite abit*
+ ShaoXing Hua Diao Cooking Wine (绍兴花雕酒) (A dash of this if you like)

Easy Style (This is not in the picture)
+ Singlong Black Pepper sauce (Available in supermarkets)
~ This is our fav brand of black pepper sauce and is highly versatile. You can use it as marinate for meats & fish, fry spaghetti, crabs and button mushrooms with this.

Method:
Just preheat your oven before baking (Medium heat)
Make slits on chicken for faster cooking
Spread a little honey on chicken
Place chicken on a lightly greased tray
Bake for 10-20 mins for chicken breast meat and up to 30 minutes for a thick piece of chicken drumstick. (Always check your chicken every now & then as cooking time varies for different ovens)
When chicken is almost cooked, you may increase the temperature by a bit to achieve a nice golden brown colour.
