Microwave Char Siu Chicken 微波炉叉烧鸡


Char Siu is one of the popular Chinese Bar-B-Q sauce and use to marinate pork, then bake in the oven or cook on a grill. I use only 12 minutes to cook these chicken in the microwave and so delicious!

Simple ingredients:
  • 2 large chicken thigh (with the skin)
  • 2 Tbsp. cooking wine
  • 2 Tbsp. Char Siu Sauce
  • 1 Tbsp. cooking oil
  • 1 Tbsp. sugar
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 green onion, chopped
  • 1 tsp. minced ginger
  • 1 Tbsp. minced garlic
  • 2 Tbsp. honey for coating
Easy to make:
  1. Combine all ingredients (except honey) together in a bowl and marinate chicken for at least one hour in the refrigerator.
  2. Remove chicken thighs from the marinate sauce and place on a microwaveable pan with skin side down. Microwave without cover on high for 4 minutes. Then, turn the skin side up and microwave for another 4 minutes.
  3. Brush the skin side with honey and place back in the microwave for 2 minutes. Repeat this step for 1-2 more time until the top turns shiney brown.
  4. Let cool for 10-15 minutes before cutting into small pieces.
