Simple with Mentsuyu Noodle Sauce Roast Chicken - ketchup

Method

• Sprinkle some salt and pepper on the chicken thighs, add the coarsely-ground black pepper, and thoroughly yet gently massage into the meat.
• Combine the ingredients.
• Add the chicken and the combined ingredients to a ziploc or plastic bag.
• Remove the air as much as possible and seal tight.
• Let marinate for 3 hours, to overnight.
• Let rest for over an hour at the very least.
• Place the chicken on a baking pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper and bake in the oven on the upper rack at 230 C for 20 to 25 minutes.
• Watch it as it bakes and adjust accordingly.
• You can use the leftover marinade.
• While the chicken is baking bring it to a boil in a small pot.
• Or microwave until it's simmering.
• Once the chicken has been cooked through to the center and is golden brown it's done.
• It's the most delicious when it's just a tad crispy on the edges.
• Transfer to a serving plate and top with the sauce you made in Step 4 (optional).
• Eating it while it's hot and fresh out of the oven is the happiness of homemade cooking.
• If you have any sauce left over, marinate a boiled quail egg together with the green onion, ginger, and you'll get a flavored boiled egg.
• It's good for lunch boxes.
