Weekend meals - I just love easy cooking and prepare simple food for my family. We 'cooks' do need a rest to 'charge' ourselves too, after we are all humans like the rest, hahaha! All work and no play makes Jane a dull girl.
This recipe was inspired by Redneck's Hoisin Chicken [here] which is roasting a whole chicken but I prefer roasting drumsticks or chicken chop [deboned chicken whole legs] as one whole chicken is too much for 3 persons.
This roast chicken is served with a tasty hoisin onion dipping sauce, steaming hot rice and some sliced cucumbers.
Again, another meal better to be served in my cosy little kitchen than eating out. I think my hubby will like it, hehehe! More economical of course [almost everyday I hear people [from sellers to buyers] complaining about rising costs of food.
Food verdict - my hubby says it's very aromatic, tasty and surprised when I told him, it's just Hoisin sauce, salt and honey.
