Char Sui Cheat

I openly admit that I use sauce out of a jar when making my delicious char sui chicken but I am not ashamed! And I’ve just been asked how to make it so here’s what I do:

Char-Sui Chicken Cheat
For 2:

4 chicken thighs or drumsticks (with skin is tastier!)
6 large tbsp pre-made char sui sauce (I use Lee Kum Kee brand below)
3 tbsp honey
4 large tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp groundnut oil

1) The night before, get a large bowl or tupperware box and pour in the char sui sauce, honey, soy sauce and oil. Mix it all up!
2) Put in your chicken pieces and give them a marinade bathing
3) Cover and put in the fridge overnight
4) Preheat oven to 190 degrees C
5) Place chicken skin-side down onto a foiled up oven tray – save any excess marinade
6) Roast for 20 minutes
7) Turn chicken over, pour any excess marinade onto the pieces and roast for 10 minutes
8) If they’re not done, turn the tray around and roast for another 5-7 mins until the juice runs clear when you stick a knife through
9) Serve with rice and fried lettuce

YUM!!!

I’m going to do this dish the non-pre-made sauce way very soon – but depending on how it turns out, I might not put the recipe up for that just yet…

Enjoy, let me know how it goes…
