Broiled Coriander Honey Chicken (Indian Chicken)

This is a recipe that I got from the Minkoff family when I was their nanny in 1997. I haven't made it in years but it is wonderful!

Broiled Coriander Honey Chicken with Hot Sweet and Sour sauce

4 pounds chicken (breasts, thighs and drumsticks)
6 Tbsp soy sauce
1 Tbsp honey
1 Tbsp coriander seed
1-2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tsp finely grated ginger root
1/4 tsp turmeric
1/4 tsp cayenne (or to taste)

Cut two parallel diagonal slits on the meat side of each piece of chicken. Cut all the way through to the bone but do not cut through to the edges.

In a large bowl, whisk together the remaining ingredients. Add the cut chicken to the bowl and turn to coat. Leave in bowl to marinade for 1 hour at room temp or 2 hours in the fridge. Keep remaining marinade.

Remove from bowl and bake in 350 degree oven for 15-20 minutes, brush with marinade and BROIL for 12 minutes or until done.

Hot Sweet and Sour Peanut Sauce

4 Tbsp creamy peanut butter
4Tbsp soy sauce
2 Tbsp lemon juice (fresh is best)
1 Tbsp brown sugar
1 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (or to taste)

Place all ingredients in a microwave safe bowl and cook for 1 minute. Stir together and serve with chicken.
