Soy Sauce and Honey-Glazed Chicken

Soy Sauce and Honey-Glazed Chicken from "Gluten Free and Easy" by Robyn Russell

*the actual recipe calls for chicken drumsticks, but I used the boneless chicken breasts I had in the freezer.

Ingredients

12 chicken drumsticks with skin on (*Again, I used boneless chicken breasts.)
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon soy sauce (#be sure to use gluten free soy sauce if your diet requires it#)
1 1/2 teaspoons Chinese five-spice
1 teaspoon crushed garlic

Steps
  1. Place the drumsticks into a glass or stainless steel bowl. 
  2. Heat the honey in the microwave until very runny, then add the olive oil, soy sauce, five-spice and garlic. Stir well to combine, then p  our over the drumsticks and mix to coat. Allow the pieces to marinate for a few hours, then bake in a 350 degree oven until cooked through, turning and brushing with the glaze a few times. 
  3. When the chicken legs are cooked, place onto a large platter and serve with a generous bowl of Tahini coleslaw and some fresh cobs of Spiced Corn. (#Tahini coleslaw and Spiced Corn are recipes from the author.)
Serves 4-6

Notes from Cate: I mixed the marinade and chicken in a ziploc bag. I served with asparagus.  Next time, I will reduce the amount of five-spice to 1 teaspoon.
