Recipes for marinades with soy sauce can be divided into several types - salty and spicy marinades, sweet marinades and spicy ones. It all depends on the quality of the selected ingredients in a particular marinade. Hot chili peppers, honey, garlic, mustard, balsamic vinegar, mayonnaise, ketchup, and, of course, all kinds of spices are widely used in the preparation of such marinades.

Chicken in honey-soy marinade baked in the oven
There is nothing complicated about baking chicken; preparing this dish is a pleasure! After all, you can constantly experiment with marinades and cooking methods and always get a tasty and appetizing dish for both the everyday table and the festive one. Today I propose to make a delicious marinade for chicken in the oven using soy sauce, honey and mustard.
Before baking the chicken, you need to completely defrost it and leave it at room temperature for a while. For cooking, you can use either a whole chicken carcass or legs, thighs or wings. A whole carcass needs to be marinated longer.
This amount of marinade is calculated for 1 medium chicken carcass weighing 1 - 1.3 kg.
Chicken with honey-lemon sauce
Chicken cooked in honey-lemon sauce acquires an unusual taste with a pleasant sourness. In addition, it is prepared completely simply and quickly.
Required components:
- chicken – 1 kg;
- lemon – 1 fruit;
- natural honey – 1 tbsp. l.;
- thyme – 1 pinch;
- butter – 50 g;
- pepper mixture – 1 tsp;
- garlic – 2 cloves;
- table salt - to taste.
Step-by-step preparation:
- Wash the carcass and dry it with paper napkins.
- Rub the chicken with salt and pepper and sprinkle with lemon zest.
- Melt the butter, pour in liquid honey, add chopped garlic, lemon juice and thyme.
- Rub the body of the chicken with the prepared sauce.
- Place it in a mold and place it in the oven, which is preheated to 190 degrees.
During baking, the crust will caramelize, as soon as it acquires a golden color, you can take it out. Typically, it takes 40-45 minutes to bake chicken in the oven.
Ingredients for preparing marinade for roasting chicken:
- Soy sauce 2 tbsp.
- Mustard 3 tsp.
- Honey 1 tsp.
- Garlic 3 cloves
- Khmeli suneli 2 tsp.
Recipe for chicken baked in soy-honey-mustard marinade:
1. Prepare the marinade: mix soy sauce, honey, mustard, chopped garlic, suneli hops in a bowl.
2. Wash the chicken and dry well. Season the carcass with salt and pepper, I used fresh ground pepper.
3. Coat the chicken with marinade on all sides and inside, cover and leave for several hours to marinate. If you are short on time, leave the chicken at room temperature - it will marinate faster. If you cook in the evening to bake in the morning, put it in the refrigerator.
4. Chicken can be baked in several ways. I like to bake many dishes, including poultry, in a glass baking dish - nothing burns in it, because... Glass baking dishes distribute heat fairly evenly. Chicken in this form is baked in its own juices. So, put the chicken in a glass baking dish (grease the dish a little with vegetable oil). You can tie the legs with thread before cooking - I think the finished chicken will look better this way. Cover the pan with the chicken as airtight as possible with foil. The foil will help keep the chicken juicy towards the end of cooking and will also prevent fat from splattering throughout the oven. Place the chicken in an oven preheated to 200 degrees and bake for about 1.5 hours, the time depends on the size of the chicken carcass (mine is 1.2 kg). You can check readiness by making a puncture in the thigh area - if clear juice comes out, then the chicken is ready. Let the chicken cool slightly, cut into portions and serve!
Other ways to bake chicken in the oven
On a baking sheet. Place the chicken on a large iron baking sheet and place chopped vegetables (potatoes, carrots, zucchini and other vegetables and even fruits) around the bird - in this case, you can immediately prepare not only the main dish, but also a side dish, which is very convenient. Don't forget to salt the vegetables. You can also bake chicken in a sleeve . This is convenient because the oven and baking sheet remain clean, nothing sticks or burns. But when baked in a sleeve, you won’t get an appetizing golden crust. Although, if you want to brown the chicken, you can do this by cutting a hole in the top of the sleeve 15 minutes before it’s ready. Another great way is to bake chicken in foil . The meat is tender and cooked well. To do this, you need to wrap the chicken tightly in foil and place it on a baking sheet, put it in a preheated oven and bake as usual.
And the marinade proposed in the recipe can be used not only for preparing the whole carcass, but also when you want to prepare chicken legs or diet chicken chops.

How to cook whole baked chicken with soy sauce and honey in the oven
First you need to buy chilled chicken. Do not buy frozen meat, as the finished dish will not be as tasty - the food will be dry and tougher. When purchasing, pay attention to the appearance and smell.
Place fresh chicken in a colander. Remove the remaining feathers, clean the skin on the legs. Rinse thoroughly with cold water, inside and out. Use paper napkins to remove excess moisture.
Now, prepare the marinade. Add soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce and honey into a convenient deep container. Mix with a spoon until a homogeneous consistency is formed.
Dip the chicken into the prepared marinade. Using a silicone brush, brush the sauce over the entire surface of the meat. If there are no special devices, you can do this with clean palms. Leave the chicken in the refrigerator for 5-6 hours. The meat needs to be turned over periodically so that it marinates evenly on all sides. If you don't have precious time, leave the chicken for at least 60 minutes.
Periodically open the oven and brush the meat with the marinade that is at the bottom of the pan. This will make the dish look more appetizing because it will brown on all sides. Baking time depends on the power of your oven and the size of the chicken. You can check the readiness of the dish by piercing the chicken with a fork in an inconspicuous place: if the juice is clear, the meat can be served. A reddish liquid indicates that the product is not ready yet.
A whole chicken baked in the oven in honey and soy sauce is ready. While the dish has not cooled, serve it to the table, garnished with sprigs of dill or parsley.
Fresh or pickled vegetables, potatoes, various sauces and soft bread will be an excellent addition to a delicious meat dish! Bon appetit!
