- 2 cloves garlic

Instructions:
-
Prepare the Chicken:
Begin by thoroughly washing the chicken and cutting it into pieces according to your preference. -
Prepare the Marinade:
Grate the ginger and garlic, and mix them with the oyster sauce. Stir well to combine. -
Marinate the Chicken:
Rub the chicken pieces with the prepared marinade mixture, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Wrap the marinated chicken tightly in aluminum foil. -
Grill the Chicken:
Place the wrapped chicken in a non-stick frying pan (teflon) with the lid on. Cook over medium to low heat for about 30 minutes, turning the chicken once halfway through. This method helps to steam the chicken to tenderness. -
Prepare the Glaze:
While the chicken is cooking, combine the honey, oyster sauce, and sweet soy sauce in a small bowl. Mix well to create a smooth glaze. -
Finish Grilling:
After the chicken has finished steaming, carefully remove it from the aluminum foil. Brush the chicken with the prepared glaze, and return it to the frying pan. Continue grilling, turning the chicken occasionally and basting it with more glaze each time you flip it. Grill until the chicken’s surface is slightly caramelized and crispy, and the glaze is fully absorbed. -
Serve:
Once the chicken is cooked to your liking, serve it with sambal bawang (garlic chili sauce) and fresh vegetables for a delightful meal. Enjoy the delicious, sweet, and savory flavors of this simple yet flavorful grilled chicken!
This recipe brings a delightful blend of savory and sweet, perfect for a quick and satisfying meal. The combination of ginger, garlic, and honey glaze creates a delectable taste that will surely impress.
