Main Ingredients
- 10 Chicken Wings
- 10 Chicken Drumettes
- 1/2 cup Tempura Flour
- 1/2 cup Cornstarch
- 5 Tbsp Canola Oil (or cooking oil)
Chicken Marinade
- 1/2 Tbsp Herb Salt
- A pinch of Ginger Juice (or a tiny amount of ginger powder)
Teriyaki Glaze
- 1/2 cup Store-bought Teriyaki Sauce (or make your own with soy sauce, sugar, mirin, and corn syrup)
- 1/2 Tbsp Herb Salt
- A pinch of Ginger Juice (or a tiny amount of ginger powder)
Teriyaki Glaze
- 1/2 cup Store-bought Teriyaki Sauce (or make your own with soy sauce, sugar, mirin, and corn syrup)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Thoroughly clean the chicken drumettes and wings. In a bowl, combine them with ginger juice and herb salt, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let them marinate in the refrigerator for about 1 hour to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat. Lightly pat the marinated chicken dry. In a separate bowl, mix the tempura flour and cornstarch. Dredge the chicken pieces in this flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Place the coated chicken on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush generously with canola oil on all sides. This step is key to achieving a crispy texture similar to fried chicken.
Step 2
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Place the prepared chicken on the baking sheet and bake for approximately 15 minutes, or until it’s lightly golden brown. (If using a specific oven model like ‘Hauzen Oven’ with a Korean cooking function, you might use the ‘Chicken Leg Roast’ preset for 4 servings.) Remove the chicken from the oven while it’s still hot. Brush both sides generously with the teriyaki sauce. Ensure the sauce coats the chicken evenly.
Step 3
Return the sauced chicken to the oven, preheated to 210°C (410°F), and bake for another 5 minutes. This brief final bake helps to caramelize the teriyaki sauce, adding a beautiful glaze and enhancing the flavor. However, this step is optional and can be skipped if you prefer a less glazed finish or are short on time.
Step 4
Your beautifully glazed, sweet, and savory teriyaki chicken oven bake is now ready! It boasts a mouthwatering shine and is best enjoyed immediately while warm.
Step 5
Doesn’t it look incredibly delicious? The coating achieves a surprising crispiness and nutty flavor, making it hard to believe it was baked in an oven. The teriyaki glaze adds a perfect sweet and savory punch that makes it irresistible. It truly mimics the texture and taste of deep-fried chicken! It’s amazing how you can create such a satisfying chicken dish with just an oven. This is an absolute must-try for any chicken lover!
