Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a baking dish to prevent sticking.
-
Prepare Chicken: Place the whole chicken in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle salt and pepper over the chicken pieces according to your taste preferences.
-
Bake Chicken: Transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for approximately 45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown.
-
Prepare Sauce: While the chicken is baking, prepare the sticky sauce. In a mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, and minced garlic cloves. Stir well until the ingredients are fully incorporated and the sugar is dissolved.
-
Baste Chicken: After 45 minutes of baking, pour off any excess fat from the baking dish. Then, pour half of the prepared sticky sauce over the chicken, ensuring that it is evenly coated. Return the chicken to the oven, uncovered.
-
Continue Baking: Bake the chicken for an additional 15 minutes, allowing the sauce to caramelize and the flavors to intensify. Baste the chicken with the remaining sauce at least once during this time to ensure a sticky and flavorful coating.
-
Serve: Once the chicken is fully cooked and the sauce is sticky and caramelized, remove it from the oven. Allow it to rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
-
Enjoy: Serve Debbie’s Sticky Chicken hot, garnished with chopped parsley or sesame seeds if desired. Pair it with your favorite side dishes such as steamed rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad for a delicious and satisfying meal!
