Maple-Garlic Chicken

Last Valentine's Day, I surprised my hubby as special recipe. I saw the recipe at Rowena's Thought blog. She got the recipe at Kusina ni Manang. The recipe was a hit! It is so tasty and we like it very much. It is also easy to prepare. I will post the ingredients and procedure here for those who want to try this delicious Maple-Garlic Chicken.


Ingedients:

• 1 cup maple syrup
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 cup white vinegar
• 1 cup soy sauce
• 1.5 pounds chicken pieces

Procedure:

• Place chicken pieces in the saucepan. Mix well the rest of the ingredients and pour onto the chickens.
• Boil, then lower heat to medium low and cook for 15 minutes. During the last 5 minutes, start heating up your oven - in broil method.
• Arrange your chicken pieces on a pan and place the sauce in a small saucepan. Broil chicken for 5 minutes to dry the surfaces.
• Meanwhile, thicken the sauce with cornstarch and water mix to the desired consistency and adjust the taste as needed with salt and pepper.
• Baste the chicken pieces to give them a glaze and repeat after 2 minutes, then cook further about 2 minutes. Turn over the chicken peices and do the same. When serving, pour some sauce onto the chicken pieces.

This recipe goes well with mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli. The leftover sauce if any, will be perfect to flavor your fried rice. For my rice, I put a hot cream of mushroom on top of my steamed rice. Trust me, you will love this recipe!
