Ingredients
Marinade Ingredients
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp soy oil
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
Main Ingredient
- 500 g chicken
Instructions
- Prepare the marinade: In a bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of honey, 2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon of soy oil, and 1 tablespoon of soy sauce. Stir well to create a smooth marinade.
- Marinate the chicken: Add the 500 grams of chicken pieces into the marinade, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated with the mixture for maximum flavor infusion.
- Let chicken marinate: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the chicken for at least 1 hour and up to 3 hours to allow the flavors to penetrate and tenderize the meat.
- Cook the chicken: After marinating, cook the chicken either by baking in the oven or grilling over medium heat until fully cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F).
Notes
- Marinate chicken for at least 1 hour for the best flavor; do not exceed 3 hours to avoid breaking down the meat excessively.
- Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness to ensure food safety.
- Chicken cooked in this marinade can also be pan-fried if preferred, although baking and grilling are recommended.
- You can adjust the amount of honey or mustard based on your taste preference for sweetness or tanginess.
