Roasted Honey-Pepper Chicken

Here is one of my "do-over" oven dishes for when:
  • I'm feeling lazy or knackered
  • I run out of idea what to cook
  •  Silver Bullet couldn't figure out what he wants to eat
  • I feel like throwing a bunch of ingredients together and see how it turns out
And this is what I came up with recently:

 


Looks yummy? Well, it is! Here's the ingredients:
  • 6-8 pieces of chicken breast
  • 1 onion, sliced thinly
  • 1/2 inch ginger, pounded roughly
  • 1 tbsp dark soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tspn salt
  • 2-3 tbsp ground black pepper 
  • 1 tspn cumin powder
  • springs of rosemary
Method:
  1. Pre-heat oven to 180 degrees Celsius
  2. Combine pounded ginger, dark soy sauce, honey, salt, black pepper, rosemary and cumin and rub it all over the chicken. Leave it to marinade for min. 15 minutes. 
  3. Prepare aluminum foil - put in the marinated chicken and spread the sliced onions on top of the chicken.
  4. Crimp the aluminum foil together end-to-end loosely. Put in the oven for 30 minutes
  5. To make the skin slightly brown and crispier, open up the aluminium foil a little bit and roast a little more for 5-10 minutes. (Leave it too long or the chicken will get dry)
  6. Keep the aluminum foil loosely crimped together to keep it moist
The chicken is great to serve with rice or just salad
