Roasted Honey Ginger BBQ Chicken Strips

by

I stole this recipe for Roasted Honey Ginger BBQ Chicken Strips from a cookbook called The Chew Approved who stole it from Akilah Abrahms. To make this yummy chicken recipe, start with tossing chicken with oil, salt, pepper and garlic. Roast the chicken in the oven, then brush with a glaze made with honey, barbecue sauce and minced ginger. The chicken bakes in the oven to set the glaze and is served with additional glaze. This sticky chicken recipe can be a main dish or an appetizer.

Did you know? Gingerroot’s name comes from the Sanskrit word for “horn root,” referring to its knobby appearance. The flavor of ginger is peppery and slightly sweet, while the aroma is pungent and spicy.¹ (see more trivia in the Trivia tab)

Preheat oven to 375 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment. Toss 1 lb chicken with 2 tbsp coconut oil, 1 tsp salt, ½ tsp pepper and 2 cloves of minced garlic to coat. (I have the chicken marinate overnight.)

Arrange chicken on prepared baking sheet without overlapping pieces.

Roast in oven 45 minutes. While chicken is in oven make the glaze. Add ½ cup honey, 2 tbsp BBQ sauce, 1 tsp minced fresh ginger and 1 tsp ginger juice in a small bowl.

Combine glaze ingredients with a whisk.

Remove the pan from the oven, split glaze in half. Brush the chicken with half of the glaze mixture, reserving remaining half to serve with finished chicken.

Place chicken back in oven for 10 minutes. Remove and serve with glaze.
