1643.0. "CHICKEN: Sam's Ginger Chicken" by SPGBAS::KATZ (No guts, no flaming mega-death) Wed Feb 22 1989 08:34

    Here's one that's gotten good reviews every time I've made it. Credit
    goes to my uncle!
    
    you'll need:
    
    one family size pack of chicken parts
    (thighs and drumsticks work fine)
    2 lemons
    1 medium bottle soy sauce
    white wine
    1 large ginger root
    6-7 garlic chopped garlic cloves
    black pepper (optional)
    
    Wash the chicken and remove the skin. Place in medium baking pan
    lined with foil. In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, juice of two
    lemons, garlic and ginger root (sliced into quarter sized pieces)
    Pour over the chicken and add white wine to cover.
    
    Cook in a preheated oven at 275-300 degrees for four hours, turning
    the chicken every 30 minutes.* Serve with rice. Serves...many!
    
    What you get is a chicken that has not only thoroughly absorbed
    the sauce, but is practically melting from the bone! Enjoy!

    Four hours seems a little long for this.  Is it?
1643.2Trust MeSPGBAS::KATZNo guts, no flaming mega-deathWed Feb 22 1989 11:514
    4 hours at 275 degrees is correct -- trust me.
    
    It is however VITAL that you turn the chicken every 30 minutes or
    you'll get one very dry and unedible side!
1643.3Thumbs up for the chicken!!TELALL::SINIAWSKIAll my life I have been on hold....Mon Feb 27 1989 10:129
    I made this chicken Sunday for late lunch for a group of 12,
    everyone just loved it!!!
    
    Four hours is the right time and if you don't forget to turn
    it every 30 minutes the chicken just melts in your mouth.
    
    It is very easy to make and I recommend it to everyone.

1643.42nd thumps up!HOCUS::MANZOMon Feb 27 1989 10:428
    I also made this dish this past weekend - It was 
    del-lic-cious! - Even my 20 month old son loved it.
    
    The only thing I did different was I used the ground
    Ginger instead of the Ginger Root.
    
    Thanks,

1643.6A Low Calorie Version?MDA::NEWSTEDTue Feb 28 1989 12:3225
    
        To Serve 2                             Caloric value:
    
        Use 1/2 pound boneless chicken breast             420
        1 fresh ginger root                                19
        1/4 cup white wine                                 45
        1/4 cup soy sauce                                  27
        juice of 2 lemons - or 4 tablespoons               16
        1/2 to 1 cup clear chicken bullion                 21
        2 cloves pressed garlic                             6
        
    wash chicken, place in foil-lined pan cover with ginger
    and liquid mixture ( pre mixed in bowl ) and...what do you
    think? shall we go the full four? No, I think since this
    is only serving two, that it would be a good idea to try
    cooking his for 2 1/2 hours.  This is untried - I just made it
    up because I wanted this yummy recipie to fit my low cal meal
    plan.....
    
    Serve with steamed gren beans instead of rice, and fresh sliced
    Tomatoe... total caloric intake for one serving would be
    277 !!! thats low! 
    
    Any dieters out there willing to give this a try? I will
    and post my results later!
1643.7Less time? Less calories? I'm for it!PARITY::DDAVISLong-cool woman in a black dressTue Feb 28 1989 14:358
    I'm going to try it, and I'm not even on a diet.  I like the 2 1/2
    hours cooking time better than 4 hours.  I never have 4 hours free
    time to sit there and turn it every 20 minutes as stated in the
    original.
    
    Thanks for putting this in.

1643.8Variation: Honey Lime ChickenCASEY::BROCKNEYDocument WHAT?Wed Mar 01 1989 13:0223
    This reminds me of another chicken recipe with ginger in it:
    
    Honey Lime Chicken
    
    
    Make a marinade of:
    
    juice of 2 limes
    2 TBS. honey
    1 cup chicken bouillon
    1/2 cup cooking sherry
    garlic to taste
    1 teas. ground ginger
    
    
    Pour over chicken parts (chicken breasts are great!) and
    refrigerate for 4-5 hours. 
    
    Remove chicken from marinade and bake as you usually do.
    At 350 for 1 hr.
    

    
1643.9What size family?RDGENG::SIMThu Mar 02 1989 06:549
    Going back to the original recipe:
    
    "Family size" is a bit vague!  I want a recipe that will feed about
    10 people.  Would the sauce be OK for cooking about 20 drumsticks
    or about 10 bigger pieces of chicken?  
    
    Thanks

    It ought to be good for about twenty drumsticks, yes. I usually
    buy a pack of thighs and drumsticks -- get abuot fifteen separate
    pieces once I cut 'em up.
    
    Use your better judgement! The recipe is not an etched-in-stone
    sort of thing and is open for variations (as is plainly obvious
    looking at the entries!) For example, you can add a little Chinese
    star annis for an extra, and the next time I make this, I'll probably
    let it marinate in the sauce overnight.
