Roast Honey Sesame Chicken Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200C (180C fan forced).
• Rinse chicken cavity under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
• Trim excess fat from cavity, then tuck the wings underneath and then place chicken breast down in a large glass or ceramic bowl.
• Combine juice, honey, sesame seeds and hoisin (or plum if using) in a small bowl and whisk to combine and then pour half the mixture over the chick, cover the chicken and refrigerate for 20 minutes to marinate.
• Place chicken breast up in a large roasting pan and place ginger, garlic and spring onions inside cavity and tie legs with kitchen string.
• Roast for 45 minutes and then remove from oven and add potatoes, carrots, red onion, zucchini and capsicum and drizzle vegetables with oil and put back in the oven to continue roasting and baste the chicken occassionally with reserved marinade for 35-40 minutes or utill juices run clear when chicken thigh is pierced with a small sharp knife.
• Remove from oven and cover with foil and rest for 5 minutes.
• Portion chicken and serve with roast vegetables.

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients in a small bowl.
• Start roasting chicken as per your normal preferred method, don't glaze the chicken at the start because the skin will burn.
• Brush the glaze over the chicken when there is 30-45 minutes cooking time remaining. I normally do it with 45 minutes for a fairly dark crispy skin but you may prefer 30 for a lighter colour.

Steps:

• Mix honey, ketchup, olive oil, sesame seeds, soy sauce, lemon juice, Sriracha sauce, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and ginger in a bowl until well combined. Add chicken pieces and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 2 to 6 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Transfer chicken and sauce into an oven-proof dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 8 minutes. Remove from oven and turn chicken pieces over. Bake until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 5 to 8 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
