👨‍🍳 Method

For the Soy-Honey Sauce

  1. 1
    In a small bowl, mix the gluten-free soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, chili sauce, garlic and ginger.
    Bowl
    💡Honey balances the saltiness of the soy and caramelizes over heat: on the grill it gives a browned crust, and in a pan a glossy sauce.

To assemble

  1. 2
    Toss the chicken with the oil, hot paprika and salt.
  2. 3
    Preheat the oven to 220°C (430°F).
    ⚙ Preheating the OvenOven
    💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
  3. 4
    Arrange the chicken in the pan in a single layer, with space between the pieces.
    Baking pan
  4. 5
    Bake uncovered 25 minutes, until the chicken starts to turn golden.
    ⚙ BakingOvenBaking pan
    💡Check by the cue (until…), not just the clock: every oven bakes a little differently.
  5. 6
    Take the chicken out of the oven and toss the chicken in the sauce. Return to the oven for 15–20 minutes, until the chicken is sticky and glossy.
    BowlBaking pan
  6. 7
    Sprinkle the sesame seeds and green onion over the top.
  7. 8
    Serve hot.
