College Cuisine: Honey Teriyaki Chicken

SERC staff and students are keeping their cookery and baking skills as sharp as their kitchen knives with weekly food recipes designed to tantalise the taste buds.

This week’s recipe shows you how to make your own Honey Teriyaki Chicken. The recipe is as follows:

Ingredients (Serves 4) 

• 4 raw chicken fillets 
• 150ml soy sauce 
• 15g (½ cup) of honey
• 60ml (¼ cup) of rice wine vinegar 
• ½ medium onion (diced) 
• 2 cloves garlic (crushed) 
• 1 tsp ground ginger 
• 3 tbsp corn flour 
• 60ml (¼ cup) of water 
• Black pepper to season 

Method: Slow Cooker 

This is a recipe is designed for the slow cooker, but will work just as well in a conventional ovenproof dish with a lid on a low heat (approx. 150°C.) 

Top tip: If you like more heat, add more garlic and some red chilli flakes.  

1. Mix the soy sauce, honey, rice wine vinegar, diced onion, crushed garlic, pepper and ground ginger together in a small bowl and set aside. 
2. Oil the slower cooker and add the chicken fillets. Pour the sauce over the fillets, cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours. 
3. Remove and drain the chicken and set aside in a large bowl, then shred the meat thoroughly with two forks. 
4. Transfer the leftover sauce into a saucepan and add cornflour mix. (1-part cornflour to two parts cold water) Reduce over medium heat until thickened. 
5. While the sauce is reducing, cook your noodles as per instructions on the packet. 
6. Add the chicken to the sauce and mix thoroughly, then serve on a bed of noodles and sprinkle with spring onions and sesame seeds. Enjoy! 

Serving suggestion: Add vegetables like broccoli, carrots or mangetout as a side dish.
