How to Make Asian Baked Chicken

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1.5 lbs of chicken pieces (thighs, drumsticks, or breasts) and sauté until lightly browned on all sides (about 5-7 minutes).
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, 1 clove minced garlic, and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional).
  4. Arrange the browned chicken pieces in a baking dish (approximately 9x13 inches).
  5. Pour the honey-soy sauce mixture evenly over the chicken.
  6. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil.
  7. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear.
  8. Remove the foil during the last 10 minutes of baking to allow the chicken to brown slightly.
  9. Serve hot and enjoy! Garnish with chopped green onions, sesame seeds, or toasted slivered almonds if desired.
