In the midst of marination. I used honey, soya sauce, mustard, onions and garlic to marinate the chicken for an hour. I sprinkled a dash of curry spice as well. After that, I baked it for an hour and a half while I spent 2/3 of that time cleaning the apartment and the rest, bathing.
One hour into the cooking. I stake the 3 chicken like a tepee, all propped up supporting each other. Sort of like how you use sticks to make a bon fire. The purpose was to allow them all to be evenly cooked, especially the skin. And also because I want the juice to drop into the middle and cook the onions.
The perfect chicken! This was the best meal I've ever had so far. It smelt so good, I'd recommend it to you to cook! The onions were so soft and it absorbed the natural flavour of the chicken and mustard and honey. The meat was so tender, drenched in the natural goodness of honey mustard.
I cooked long beans with egg as an additional side with my brown rice. What a fantastic meal. I'm only cooking once a day because I don't have time to plan 2 meals a day to cook. Notice how my dinner is getting later and later, not exactly a good plan. Last night's dinner was at 2030 and tonight was at 2130. Have got too many things to do I don't have time to eat at proper times but nonetheless, I am still exceptionally happy with this meal :)Do cook it too and let me know how it turned out.
Some tips: The ratio to follow is 2 Honey: 1 Mustard: 2.5 Soya Sauce
I don't like to follow metric or whatever system. Especially because portions differ. Most importantly, ratios count. Remember, don't add too much honey. Chicken taste better salty than sweet. Plus, the onions are sweet. Make this dish and you will not regret it :)
By the way, you can replace chicken wings with chicken thigh and bake potatos or pumpkin in the sauce as well. The chicken wasn't dry because of the natural juice from the chicken.
Verdict: 9/10. The best dish so far!
