Make Sticky Chicken

"Sticky Chicken" is a sweet flavorful recipe that tastes great hot or cold.

Ingredients

Mix the sticky sauce. Mix 1 cup Ketchup, 1 cup corn syrup or honey, 1 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup soy sauce, and 1 tsp garlic together in a saucepan. Bring mixture to a gentle simmer.
Prepare your chicken. Place 8 - 12 pieces of chicken in a flat, oven-ready casserole dish, so the pieces fit reasonably snug.
Sauce your chicken. Pour the entire batch of Sticky Sauce over your chicken evenly. Allow the chicken to be submerged about halfway or more into the Sticky Sauce. No need to cover chicken with foil or a lid.
Bake the Chicken. Bake at 350 for 1.5 - 2 hours. Baste or turn the chicken pieces after 45 minutes.
Serve. Allow to cool for 5 - 10 minutes before serving, chicken should be soft and tender. Serve on or next to a bed of rice. Remove chicken fat and use excess sticky sauce to flavor rice.

Dark meat like legs or thighs work best with this recipe, though white meat will work.
A light spritz of cooking spray or olive oil will reduce sticking.
About 1/4 to 1/2 tsp (or to taste)of ground ginger really gives a wonderful flavor that is missing from the original recipe.
Corn syrup works better than honey.
Gluten-free tamari may be substituted for soy sauce
Try cutting chicken tenders into bite size pieces, flour and pan fry then add to sauce before serving over a bed of rice.

Sweet sauces such as this burn easily, be sure to monitor your cooking to prevent this, reduce heat if necessary.
