We had chicken quarters that needed using. It’s summer. I thought I’d mix it up a bit and try something a bit different! I didn’t use a base recipe for this one, just kind of threw things together and hoped for the best (the most fun way to cook, if you ask me!).
Thankfully, this was one experiment that turned out pretty well. The stock mix took away slightly from what would have been a very sweet sauce and the flavours worked very well together.
I served this with my Garlic Mashed Potatoes & Fluffy Southern Biscuits, and it was delicious!
This recipe makes enough for 2, but can be doubled to serve 4, or more if needed.
Ingredients
2 chicken quarters
1 can peaches
1 cube chicken stock
1/4 cup boiling water
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp honey
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
Method
Preheat oven to 375, Gas Mark 5.
Place chicken quarters into a medium/large casserole dish.
Mix chicken stock with boiling water, oil, soy sauce, honey, salt and pepper. Pour over chicken.
Season chicken with a little extra salt & pepper.
Bake, covered, for 45 minutes, basting with the sauce again halfway through.
Take chicken out of the oven and pour the peaches over. Place back in the oven and cook uncovered for a further 20 minutes.
This next step isn’t necessary but to make my chicken a little more crispy on the top I fired up the grill and put the dish under for a couple minutes before serving.
And you’re all done! Enjoy!
