00:00This honey garlic chicken only has three steps and it comes together in one pan.
00:03The formula is simply veggie of choice. I usually like it to include a starch,
00:08your chicken, or whatever protein you want, and then whatever sauce you want.
00:11This one has Asian flair to it, so I'm going in with some stir-fry veggie mix.
00:15I'm adding in some sweet potato because that's what we like.
00:17I'm going to season them with a little oil, salt, pepper, give it a toss.
00:22Step two, go on with your meat. I'm doing a bone-in skin on chicken thigh
00:25because that's what I like and it's going to give up more flavor for the veggies.
00:29And listen, the amounts are whatever you're cooking.
00:31If you're only cooking for two people, you can do two pieces and however many veggies.
00:35It's just about the formula. I'm going five because we have five in my family.
00:38One more layer of seasoning. Component three is a sauce.
00:42We're doing honey garlic, so of course I'm going to put in some honey and garlic.
00:46So I'm going to go with some soy sauce, a little crushed red pepper,
00:49and a little ground ginger, and then just a little squirt of Dijon.
00:52Give it a whisk, pour it over.
00:54At the end of the day, it's still basically a three-ingredient dinner.
00:57You've got your veg, you've got your meat, and you've got your sauce.
01:00That sauce combined with the natural juices from the chicken is one of the most magical things ever, hence the
01:05name.
01:05Into the oven. Dinner doesn't have to be complicated.
01:08You've got your main dish, your veggie, and your sauce, and it all cooked together at the same time.
01:12If you want to add another ingredient and something to soak up all the juice, you could add rice here.
01:17The amount of flavor the chicken gives off in comparison to that marinade we make, it's like you want to
01:22bathe in it.
01:23The title says it all.
01:24I don't know what makes it more magical.
01:25Is it the flavors that come together or the ease it takes to make it?
01:28Either way, it's a win-win.
01:29It's the thing.
01:29I don't know.
