• In the mixing bowl, add honey, brown sugar, soy sauce and balsamic vinegar. Mince the garlic and grate the ginger into bowl. Whisk well and add 3/4 of the sauce into the Ziploc bag. Reserve the remaining sauce for later.
• Trim your chicken and add to Ziploc bag.
• Let the chicken marinate in the fridge for 20 minutes minimal.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
• Place the marinated chicken onto the baking sheet and let cook for 30 minutes or until completely done.

CHICKEN GINGER AND HONEY

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. When the oil is hot, add the chicken strips and saute until chicken is just cooked through, about 4 to 5 minutes, depending on the size of the strips. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
• Add 2 more tablespoons of olive oil to the skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Add the julienned vegetables and cook until crisp tender, about 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Remove the vegetables from the pan and set aside.
• Add 2 more tablespoons of olive oil to the skillet, reduce the heat to medium, and then add the fresh ginger and garlic. Cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add the honey and chicken stock and let the sauce reduce slightly. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons cold water until dissolved. Add the cornstarch slurry to the sauce and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until sauce is thickened.
• When the sauce has thickened, return the chicken and vegetables to the skillet and cook until just heated through. To serve, arrange the fried noodles as a base on each plate. Spoon the chicken, vegetables, and sauce over the noodles. Garnish with the cilantro, mint, and pickled ginger.

HONEY-GINGER CHICKEN

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425. Melt Crisco and butter in 9x13 pan in oven.
• Combine flour, salt, ginger, pepper. Dredge chicken pieces in flour mixture.
• Add chicken to hot pan, skin side down. Bake for 30 minutes.
• Turn pieces over and bake an additional 15 minutes.
• Whisk together honey, hot sauce, soy sauce.
• Drain butter/fat from pan and pour honey mixture over the chicken and bake 15 more minutes, basting often.
• Serve hot, or refrigerate and serve chilled. (I prefer it hot next too some fluffy rice!).

HONEY-GINGER CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey, lime juice and zest, tamari, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, scallions, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Reserve 3/4 cup of the marinade for later use. Pour the remaining marinade into a 2-gallon ziptop bag. Add the chicken and seal the bag, pressing out as much air as possible; massage to distribute the marinade. Marinate, refrigerated, for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
• Remove the chicken wings from the refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Put the wings skin-side down on the baking sheet and spoon the marinade from the bag over the wings. Cook for 20 minutes, then flip the wings, baste with the pan drippings, rotate the pan and cook until the honey has caramelized and the skin is a dark amber, an additional 20 to 25 minutes.
• Pour the reserved 3/4 cup marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook until the liquid is thick and syrupy and turns into a glaze, about 4 minutes. Coat the wings with the thickened marinade. Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with lime zest.

HONEY GINGER CHICKEN STIR-FRY

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the honey, soy sauce, lemon juice and garlic. Set aside.
• Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, stir fry chicken in oil until lightly browned. Add the vegetables and water chestnuts; stir-fry 3-4 minutes longer until vegetables are crisp-tender.
• Stir honey mixture and stir into chicken mixture. Cook 3-5 minutes or until heated through and chicken juices run clear. Serve with the hot rice.

HONEY GINGER CHICKEN (CROCK POT)
