Shandong Chinese Chicken

A great chicken dish with a local Chinese Provincial flair. I learned this recipe while teaching English in mainland China. Serve with rice or noodles and a cole slaw or Korean kimchee. Ice cold beer is the beverage of choice with this dish.

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon white sugar
• ¼ cup water
• 1 pinch salt
• ¾ teaspoon ground black pepper
• ½ cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
• 4 chicken leg quarters
• ½ cup white vinegar

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, and brush the foil with melted butter.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, mix together the vinegar, water, mayonnaise, horseradish, sugar, salt and pepper until well blended. Coat each piece of chicken heavily with the sauce, and place onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3

Bake, uncovered, for about 45 minutes in the preheated oven. Baste occasionally with remaining sauce. Chicken is done when the juices run clear, and the meat is no longer pink. Serve with rice or noodles.
