Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Honey-Vanilla Glazed Chicken.
Step 1
To create a delicious marinade that will elevate your chicken, start by grabbing a mixing bowl.
Step 2
In it, combine soy sauce, fresh orange juice, a splash of hot pepper sauce, a hint of vanilla extract, brown sugar, and honey.
Step 3
Give it a good stir until the sugar is completely dissolved, creating a sweet and savory base.
Step 4
Next, add in minced garlic, a sprinkle of garlic powder, and a dash of Italian seasoning.
Step 5
Whisk everything together until well blended, allowing those aromatic flavors to mingle.
Step 6
Now, slowly drizzle in sesame oil and vegetable oil while whisking continuously.
Step 7
This will help create a beautifully cohesive marinade.
Step 8
Once your marinade is ready, take your chicken strips and place them in a large bowl or a resealable bag.
Step 9
Pour the marinade over the chicken, making sure to toss it well so every piece is coated in that flavorful mixture.
Step 10
Cover the bowl or seal the bag, then pop it in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes.
Step 11
This step is crucial as it allows the flavors to really soak into the chicken.
Step 12
While the chicken is marinating, preheat your oven by adjusting the rack to the top position and setting it to broil.
Step 13
This will give your chicken that perfect golden-brown finish.
Step 14
After the marinating time is up, transfer the chicken to a baking dish or a baking sheet lined with foil for easy cleanup.
Step 15
Broil the chicken for about 5 to 8 minutes, watching closely as it turns a lovely golden brown.
Step 16
Once the first side is beautifully browned, flip the chicken pieces over and continue broiling for another 5 minutes.
Step 17
You’ll know it’s done when the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
Step 18
And there you have it! A simple yet flavorful chicken dish that’s sure to impress.
Step 19
Enjoy your meal!.
