Bought a teriyaki chicken sauce, found miso glaze, and a mixture of drumettes and wings on sale. Trying to create my grandma’s Asian style baked chicken on coal; of course, I don’t bake my chicken on coal but in the oven.

“Asian style baked chicken features chicken marinated in a sweet and savoury Asian-inspired sauce, often including ingredients like soy sauce, honey, and garlic, resulting in a flavourful dish typically served with rice and vegetables.”

My recreation of my grandma’s Asian style baked chicken seems to boost the Asian flavour with the marinade that I have added. I am glad to try it out; if you never try, you will never know the flavourful taste of your Asian style baked chicken. It has charred, crispy, and delicious. Let’s do Asian style bake!!!

Ingredients 

8 drumettes
8 wings

Chicken pieces marinade

1 small bird eyes chili, deseeded and chopped finely (OPT)
1 small lemon juice
2 Tbs minced garlic
2 Tbs ginger powder
1 Tbs miso glaze
1 Tbs soy sauce
1 Tbs shao Xing Chinese cooking wine
1 Tbs fish sauce
1 Tbs teriyaki chicken sauce
1 Tbs palm sugar, grated
1 Tbs sesame oil
1/2 Tbs vegetables oil
black pepper
salt

Method

Wash and dry drumettes and wings. Pat dry with paper towel. Set aside on bench top to dry. Meantime, mix marinade ingredients together in triple Ziploc bag. Now add in drumettes and wings. Make sure seal the zips; the massage the marinade on all the chicken pieces. Then place Ziploc marinated chicken pieces on a metal plate wide so that the marinade coats all chicken pieces.

Place in fridge overnight; every two hours, gives a couple of massages; to ensure that chicken pieces are really coated in marinade.

The next day

Bring out the marinated chicken pieces from fridge to room temperature for 20 minutes. Preheat heat oven 190 degrees C. Line the baking tray. Bake for about 30-35 minutes, baste the chicken with the marinade juices a couple of times during the bake to prevent tops from drying out.

If you want the tops nicely crisped up and charred, turn on grill on high for a couple of minutes at the end of the bake, also to make sure the chicken pieces are cooked. Remove chicken pieces from the grill and I squeezed some miso glaze over the chicken pieces and place back in the switch off hot grill for 1-2 minutes. You don’t have too. Then bring out from grill and transfer to a deep plate. Let them cool for 5 minutes. Enjoy it with a cold Asashi beer!!!
