Honeyed Roast Chicken



Ok so now that i baked that cake yesterday i got into the cooking mode and well cooked up a storm today...

i made 3 things.all from this awesome receipe book my friend gave me.
the first one was a receipe using quail...but i substituted quail with chicken and i was happy with the result...

Ingredients:
1 tbsp sesame oil
1/4 cup soy sauce (though go a little easy on this one...if used in excess it turns the coating slightly bitter in a muddy way...trying tasting raw soy sauce and you will understand what i mean)
1/4 cup honey
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp sesame seeds (the recipe didnt call for it but i used roasted sesame seeds)
about 1/2 kg chicken.

To make the coating, put oil, soy sauce, honey, lemon juice and sesame seeds in a small vessel and cook stirring continuously over a low flame...till it thickens slightly.
Boil the chicken in water with a little salt.not to cook the chicken but just to 1/4 cook it (i didnt know what half of semi was..basically i mean boil the chicken for 5 minutes)
Now drain the 1/4 cooked chicken and coat it with the above mixture and roast it..for about 15 minutes or till the chicken is cooked.

So easy no?
