So many layers of flavour! Sweet and salty and baked in the oven so the chicken is juicy and tender. And the sesame noodles are done in the time it takes to boil spaghetti!
Ingredients:
4 chicken legs, split
Sauce:
1/4 cup orange juice
1/4 cup soya sauce
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp minced garlic
1/2 tsp powdered ginger
1 tsp minced ginger
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp sriracha sauce
2 tsps cornstarch
1/4 tsp orange zest
1 tbsp olive oil for marinade
Sesame noodles:
1 lb spaghetti
1/4 cup low sodium soya sauce
2 tbsps rice wine vinegar
2 tsps sesame oil
1 tsp minced ginger
1/2 tsp sriracha sauce
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp black pepper
Toppings: chives, sesame seeds, chopped greens
Start with the chicken... mix the sauce ingredients together starting with the orange juice through to and including the orange zest. When combined remove 1/3 cup of sauce and to that add 1 tbsp olive oil for the marinade. Place chicken pieces in a container and pour the marinade over. Refrigerate at least 1 hour or overnight, turn a couple of times. Cover and refrigerate the remaining sauce if overnight.
When you're ready to cook line a baking sheet with foil and place a rack on top. Place the chicken on the rack. Discard the marinade.
Heat the reserved sauce in a small pot. Bring to a boil then reduce and stir until slightly thickened. See how the glaze clings to the pot.
Brush the chicken with glaze and bake at 425°F for 50-60 minutes. Turn and glaze the pieces a couple of times during cooking. (See how covering the pan with foil was a good idea!)
In the last 10 or 15 minutes of cooking time start the noodles. Combine the sesame sauce ingredients. Cook the spaghetti and drain then toss immediately with the sauce.
The noodles absorb the totally awesome sauce and the chichen glaze pretty much sticks to the chicken so you don't have the two sauces swimming on the plate.
Serves 4 with some sesame noodles leftover for lunch the next day!
