Inspiration? A quick and cheap Japanese entree that would balance out the Miso Glazed Salmon. Complexity? Possibly one of the simplest dishes I’ve ever created. This particular recipe should be called an LJ shortcut. It features two very basic ingredients – chicken and marinade sauce :) Teriyaki sauce is usually a mixture of soy sauce, mirin, sake, and honey. (Variations include adding sugar, ginger, garlic, etc). However, I just happened to own an unused bottle of Kikkoman Teriyaki Sauce, and I decided to take the lazy route with the premade sauce. Super easy recipe to make, a welcome dish that slowly cooked in the oven as I worked on the homemade dashi stock for the other dishes.
Ingredients:
6 chicken drumsticks
Kikkoman teriyaki sauce.
Instructions:
1) Put drumsticks in a bowl and cover with teriyaki sauce. Cover and marinate overnight in the fridge.
2) Lay chicken on lined baking pan and bake covered at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for 50 minutes, turning once. Make sure the meat is fully cooked before serving.
Yumm tender chicken meat! Simple is good =)
I've been told that a certain smile breaks across my face whenever the subject of food is brought up, a smile that radiates the purest forms of delight and happiness. Food transcends beyond the smell and taste of what's presented; it's an experience to be enjoyed, indulged, shared with those I love. Working and living in NYC continually opens culinary doors, from hole-in-the-walls to upscale dining. I never take any morsel of food for granted, and I'm often the girl at the table that will stare at your food and sheepishly ask "...Are you going to finish that?"
Talk about quick, this must be one of the simplest and tastiest recipes! :) :)
You’re right on that! Just need to make sure the chicken comes out of the oven nice and tender
