- 3 pounds chicken legs &/or thighs,
skin and visible fat removed (this is
about 4 chicken leg quarters)
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- several shots hot pepper sauce (omit
if you are feeding children)
Place the chicken in a gallon size plastic
Ziploc bag. In a small bowl combine the
ketchup, soy sauce, honey, garlic, and hot
pepper sauce if you are using it. Pour the
sauce over the chicken in the bag. Marinate
for an hour, or overnight, if desired. Turn
the bag from time to time to coat the
chicken evenly with the sauce.
When you are ready to bake the chicken,
arrange it on a well oiled baking sheet. I
use a large pizza pan, and line it with 2
layers of tin foil to make clean up easier.
If there is any sauce left in the bag, pour
it evenly over the chicken in the pan. Throw
the bag away. Bake the chicken at 375
degrees for 45 minutes. There, it is done. I
like to serve this with rice, and peas and
carrots. It is also good prepared on the
grill in the summertime. Without the hot
sauce, this is a very child friendly recipe.
Serves 6.
