Chinese Roasted Chicken

Oven roasted Chinese takeout is so much healthier than the greasy fried alternative, and since you're making it at home you know exactly what went into it. You can use these tender chunks of chicken marinated with chinese flavors in everything from salad to fried rice. Either dark meat or white meat can be used, with the latter taking less time to cook.

Ingredients

1 lb boneless chicken cut into bite sized pieces
1 teaspoon oyster sauce
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 drop sesame oil
1 teaspoon honey
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Combine all ingredients. Place chicken in a sealed container and marinate for at least 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 300 F
Place marinated chicken on a aluminum lined pan, or one with a rack. Place in oven.
Slow roast chicken for 1 hour, if using chicken breast (white meat) remove at this point.
If using dark meat chicken after the first hour is up lower oven to 250 F
Roast for 30 minutes more, then check to see if juices run clear.
Chicken should be tender and delicious.

Serves about 3.
