Low-Sodium Garlic-Ginger Chicken
- 1 chicken (3 to 4 lb.), cut up, skinned and visible fat removed, or 3 whole chicken breasts, split, skinned and visible fat removed
- 6 slices (1/8-inch thick) peeled fresh ginger or 1 tsp. powdered ginger
- 4 cloves garlic, peeled and sliced in half
- 2 Tbsp. vegetable oil or 1 tsp. sesame oil and 1 tsp. vegetable oil
- juice from 2 lemons
- 1/2 tsp. pepper
- 4 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce or 1 1/2 Tbsp. reduced sodium soy sauce (optional; this gives an Oriental flavor, but the recipe will be tasty if sauce is omitted)
- Preheat oven to 425u0b0.
- (The high temperature will caramelize the sauce on the chicken.)
- Wash chicken and pat dry.
- Place in a shallow baking dish.
- Sprinkle ginger and garlic around and under chicken pieces.
- Pour oil and lemon juice over chicken.
- Sprinkle with pepper.
- Cover baking pan tightly with foil.
