Indonesian Oven-Baked Chicken Pieces

Ingredients:

• 2 chickens weighing 1.4 kg each, cut into 4 pieces, remove the backs
• 1 tbsp. honey
• 3/4 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup minced garlic (8-12 cloves)
• 0.5 cup peeled and grated fresh ginger root

Preparation:

1. Combine honey, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger in a small saucepan and heat over low heat until the honey dissolves. Place the chicken in a single layer, skin side down, on a shallow baking sheet and pour the sauce over it. Cover the baking sheet tightly with foil. Marinate overnight in the refrigerator.
2. Preheat oven to 175°C.
3. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil, turn the chicken over, skin-side up, and increase the oven temperature to 190°C (375°F). Continue baking for another 30 minutes, or until the juices run clear when pierced with a fork and the sauce has darkened.
