The marinade is simply amazing! A crust forms on top, and underneath there is juicy and very tender meat! There are simply no words for how delicious it is!

2-3 tbsp. l. olive or vegetable oil;
4-5 cloves of garlic;
1 tsp. paprika;

1 tsp. coriander;
½ tsp. thyme;
½ tsp. oregano;
¼ tsp. chili flakes;
¼ tsp. turmeric;
1-2 sprigs of rosemary, optional;

The grill is needed to ensure that the chicken remains dry and does not float in the secreted juice that will drain from it. Those. it will be almost the same grill. Dry chicken will bake on all sides at the same time.

Calculate the cooking time based on the fact that a chicken weighing 1 kg is baked for about 40 minutes. If your oven is equipped with a grill, then the carcass can be placed on a spit and secured well so that it does not twist.

½ tsp. red hot pepper;
2 onions.

Squeeze the garlic through a press, add sweet paprika, ground red pepper and chopped onion into rings.

Whisk all ingredients until smooth. The sauce should be quite viscous. Thanks to this, it will envelop the chicken well and will not drip from it during baking.

Add chopped onion here. When adding it, you need to knead it well in your hands until moistened, so it will better release its juice to the sauce. Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken pieces and mix them well with your hands. Leave to marinate for 1 hour.

Transfer the well-marinated chicken to a baking dish lined with foil and place in the oven preheated to 200°. We place the pieces at some distance from each other so that they do not leak juice and turn out golden brown. Pour the marinade on top along with the onions.

Bake for 35-40 minutes, however, you are guided by the capabilities of your oven. During cooking, pour the resulting juice and soy sauce over the chicken several times.

Teriyaki chicken is usually cooked in a frying pan on the stove, but this oven cooking option is much easier. You will see, the dish will conquer you literally from the first bite. It's simply impossible not to fall in love with him!

8 pcs. chicken legs (1 kg 100 g);
50 gr. butter;
salt, ground black pepper to taste.

To prepare Teriyaki sauce you will need:

2 tbsp. l. corn starch + 100 ml water;
250 ml soy sauce with reduced salinity;
100 gr. brown sugar;
4 tbsp. l. honey;
6 cloves of garlic;
2 tbsp. l. finely grated ginger;
500 ml water.

Wash the chicken thighs thoroughly and dry them with a paper towel on both sides. Now you need to lightly pepper and salt, because later we will use salty soy sauce and it is very important not to over-salt the meat.

Now let's start preparing the sauce. Pour water into a bowl, add starch and mix very well with a whisk until smooth, so that there is not a single lump. Starch is needed to thicken the sauce.

Finely grate a piece of fresh ginger into the pan. If this is not available, you can take a powder one. We pass the garlic cloves through a press there.

Now add honey, sugar, soy sauce and water.

Mix everything thoroughly so that the grains of sugar and honey dissolve. We send it to the stove to cook.

If you don't have reduced-salinity soy sauce, you can use salted soy sauce and dilute it half and half with water so that it's not too salty in the toga.

Bring the mixture to a boil, remove from heat and quickly pour in the starch diluted with water. Before doing this, it must be mixed well.

As soon as the starch was added, quickly stirred and put on the stove again. With constant stirring, bring the mixture to a boil and cook for 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and cool the prepared Teriyaki sauce to room temperature.

While the sauce is cooling, heat the butter in a frying pan and fry the meat for 3 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Place the thighs in a deep baking dish, pour half of the cooled sauce on top and place in an oven preheated to 200° for 20 minutes. When this time has passed, add the remaining sauce and cook the chicken for another 20 minutes. at the same temperature. In total, the chicken should cook for 40 minutes.

Teriyaki chicken with honey and sesame seeds in the oven

With this sauce you can cook absolutely amazing chicken wings, thighs or drumsticks. Thanks to sesame breading, the meat turns out very tasty, with a crispy crust and very tender inside. Teriyaki sauce makes the crust golden brown and appetizing.

1 kg chicken wings;
1 tbsp. l. flour;
2 tbsp. l. starch;
1 tsp. salt;
½ tsp. ground black pepper;
1 tsp. dried garlic;
1 tsp. paprika.

For the sauce:

80-100 ml soy sauce;
2 tbsp. l. honey;
2 tbsp. l. cane sugar;
2 tbsp. l. lime or lemon juice;
1 tbsp. l. sesame

Wash the wings well and dry with paper napkins. Cut into two parts. We cut off the very tip because it can simply burn when baked.

Turn on the oven in advance. While it is heating up, pour flour, starch, all the spices into a bowl and mix everything well. The result is a very flavorful breading. Pour it into the chicken wings.

They must be dry so that a lot of lumpy breading does not stick to them. It is necessary that the breading is distributed evenly and not in a thick layer over the surface of the meat.

Cover the baking sheet with foil, place a wire rack on top and place the wings on it.

It is necessary to bake on a wire rack, because in this case the juice does not flow from the wings, and they turn out very crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. And although they are baked on both sides at once, during the cooking process they will still need to be turned over at least once.

Place the baking sheet in the oven preheated to 200° for 20 minutes. As soon as the wings are slightly browned, turn them over and fry them for another 10 minutes.

While the meat is baking, fry the sesame seeds in a dry frying pan for literally 1 minute. Immediately pour soy sauce into the frying pan, add sugar, lemon juice and honey. Mix everything well and bring to a boil.

Remove the wings from the oven. They are fully cooked, nicely browned and crispy. Place them in the boiling sauce. Mix everything well so that they are completely covered with the sauce.

Let the wings simmer for a minute and immediately transfer them to a plate. Pour the sauce on top, which thickens a little and becomes very beautiful. This is due to the fact that we breaded the wings in starch. For those who like it spicier, you can add a little chili pepper, literally a few pieces.

All! Our wonderful dish is ready!
