Hawaiian Chicken

Ingredients:

1 5oz bottle of soy sauce
2 cloves of garlic
2 tbsp. sugar
dash pepper
1 5 oz. bottle water (or the equivalent with tap)
2 tbsp. vinegar
1 tsp. ginger
1 med. chopped onion

Directions:

Mix all ingredients. Add chicken breast (unfrozen). Marinate overnight or at least half the day. Bake for 1 1/2 hrs covered with foil at 350 degrees. The last 20 minutes I take the foil off so that the chicken gets a nice golden brown color.

Notes:

First off, if I don't have "bottle" water, I just use tap. It works the same. If you don't have ginger, it's not a big deal. I've cooked without it, but the ginger flavor is fabulous. I generally place all the ingredients in a 9x13 pan (glass or metal). You can put as much chicken in the pan, as long as the chickens don't overlap on each other. If you forget to marinate overnight, as long as you prep this in the morning...and then cook it in the evening....the flavor will be just as good. This recipe is a hit in my family. We LOVE it & I love to make it for company. I ALWAYS get compliments on it, and it is sooooo easy. The flavor is not a typical "sweet" Hawaiian, but more like a oriental flavor. It's the best chicken ever!

This recipe was given to me from my mother, which was passed to her by a lady from church named Edith.
