Honey Brandy Roasted Chicken

Hi

I was confused between the difference of roast and grill, so I checked it out and here’s the explanation I got.

*Roast and bake are cooking with heating simultaneously from all sides in the oven.

*Grill is cooked by applying heat from one side and need to turn the meat over frequently.  Usually it is heated from below on a charcoal grill or electric grill pan.  Perfect grilled should have crisp and crackly skin.  Some people will prefer to have a skillet to run through the meat on the grill rotator. 

I like meat to be either roasted or baked.  It is a healthier cooking method as it requires little oil or even no oil at all.  It also captures the flavor and retains the nutrients in the food. 

 Roast chicken is pretty easy to make.  Honey gives out the sticky sweet flavor and with a little brandy added to the marinades, it gives bronze glaze on the chicken and also enhance flavor.

I like this dish very much because the oven does most of the work – cooking and browning.  I don’t have to do anything except flipping the chicken thigh over so that it will be cooked evenly. 

This dish didn’t disappoint me.  It is delicious and finger-lickin’ good.  My family enjoyed it very much.

HAPPY BAKING!
