Eileen’s Sweet and Tangy Chicken
 
Everything about my friend Eileen a”h exuded life. Although it has been a number of years since her untimely passing, each time I make this chicken on the bone I think of Eileen and her glorious legacy. Thank you, Rochie, for sharing her spectacular recipe with me.
Serves: 8
Ingredients
  • 8 chicken bottoms
  • sea salt, to taste
  • garlic powder, to taste
  • onion powder, to taste
  • paprika, to taste
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ½ cup cornflake crumbs
Sweet and Tangy Sauce
  • 1 cup duck sauce
  • ½ cup honey
  • 3 Tbsp. yellow mustard
  • 3 Tbsp. low sodium soy sauce
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a roasting pan.
  2. Place chicken into prepared pan. Season chicken lightly with spices. Spread mayonnaise over chicken. Sprinkle with cornflake crumbs to evenly cover.
  3. Cover; bake on center rack for 1 hour 20 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, prepare the sweet and tangy sauce: In a small bowl, combine sauce ingredients.
  5. Remove pan from oven. Pour accumulated liquid into a small bowl. (Allow liquid to cool; discard.)

    Looks yum! Do you think I can make this with nuggets? If yes, how long would you suggest I bake it for? Thanks!

      You can certainly have with nuggets. I would change the first time to 20 minutes. Pour glaze over chicken and bake an additional 20 minutes.

      I’m sorry that was just a subtitle for the sauce ingredients. Clarified it so its clearer.

      I’m not familiar with your grocery stores but there are many companies that are carried by large chains. One Two very large brands are Gold’s abd Mike’s. If you cannot find it you can substitute apricot jam. I would add 2 TBL boiling water to loosen the mixture.

    Do you think this will work with chicken cutlets? Maybe cubed or sliced?

      Absolutely. Works great with both. Be sure to change baking time
