Soy Chicken

Not the weather for a barbecue so did this instead. Lovely and tasty chicken that went well with a salad of tomatoes, red onion, lettuce and cucumber tossed with a dressing of lemon juice, honey and olive oil topped with chopped fried bacon bits. There is also another version around that replaces the brown sugar with honey.
  • 8 of your favorite chicken pieces, skin on and bone- in preferable
  •  2 tbsp soy sauce
  •  1 tbsp light brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 shallots, chopped
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • Handful of fresh parsley
  • Salt and Pepper

1.     Preheat oven to 425
2.     In a large baking dish, combine marinade and toss with chicken. Season well leave for at least 1 hour.
3.     Place chicken pieces skin side up and roast for 30 minutes until it begins to brown. Remove and baste with marinade. Flip pieces and bake a remaining 10 minutes or until chicken is cooked.
