How to Make Sticky Chicken

"Sticky Chicken" is a sweet flavorful recipe that tastes great hot or cold.

Ingredients

• 8 - 12 chicken legs and/or thighs
  
• 1 cup ketchup
  
• 1 cup corn syrup or honey
  
• 1 cup brown sugar
  
• 1/2 cup soy sauce (regular or light)
  
• Minced or crushed garlic
  

Steps

1. Mix the sticky sauce. Mix 1 cup Ketchup, 1 cup corn syrup or honey, 1 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup soy sauce, and 1 tsp garlic together in a sauce pan. Bring mixture to a gentle simmer.
   
2. Prepare your chicken. Place 8 - 12 pieces of chicken in a flat, oven-ready casserole dish, so the pieces fit reasonably snug.
   
3. Sauce your chicken. Pour the entire batch of Sticky Sauce over your chicken evenly. Allow the chicken to be submerged about half way or more into the Sticky Sauce. No need to cover chicken with foil or a lid.
   
4. Bake the Chicken. Bake at 350 for 1.5 - 2 hours. Baste or turn the chicken pieces after 45 minutes.
   
5. Serve. Allow to cool for 5 - 10 minutes before serving, chicken should be soft and tender. Serve on or next to a bed of rice. Remove chicken fat and use excess sticky sauce to flavor rice.
