Method

  • Grate the garlic and ginger directly into a large bowl.

  • Whisk together, then add the chicken into the sauce and make sure its well coated.
  • Put the bowl into the refrigerator and let the chicken marinate for as long as you have; 2-4 hours is ideal.
  • When ready to cook, transfer the chicken, skin side up, and all the juices from the marinade into a baking dish.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 F. Put dish into the preheated oven and bake uncovered for 30-40 minutes or until cooked through.
  • Serve with scallions, extra juices from the pan, and rice, or as desired.
  • Note: Check the chicken as its baking after 20 minutes.
  • If the chicken skin is browned but the chicken isnt yet cooked through, cover loosely with tin foil until chicken is fully cooked.
