Honey+Spice+Chicken

This week's lab will continue to focus on creating different sauces. Use the following links and information to prep your recipe for lab.
 * HONEY SPICE CHICKEN:**

1. Write down who will complete the following jobs on your recipe. Jobs 1. Prep chicken (cut skin off) 2. Mix marinade 3. Roast pepper 4. Prep veggies 5. Cook rice

2. Before you can marinate your chicken you will need to remove the skin and any extra fat from the thighs and drumsticks.

3. Roasting pan can be used for many different type of meats and is basically the same thing as baking. It does require the use of a roasting pan with a rack. The rack is important, so if you don't have a roasting pan here are some options for using a makeshift roasting pan.

4. Once you have basted the chicken with your marinade mixture it is considered contaminated. DO NOT use the left over mix to dip your chicken into when eating!!!! ** NOTE: ** If you would like some of the mixture to dip in remove a little BEFORE you start basting the raw chicken and set it aside.

5. Once again you will be roasting a bell pepper for the Spanish rice. We have done this before, so that means there are no directions on your recipe and I will be looking for this technique for grading. If you need some reminders check out our Alfredo Lab Prep.

6. When cooking rice it is important that you follow the directions. If not you may have too much or too little water. Too much water can lead to soggy rice, and too little will cause the rice to be crunchy and burn to the bottom of the pan. ** NOTE: **Check the directions on the bag of rice to see cooking time and how much water to use. If this amount of water is not the same as what your recipe says make that change on the recipe!

7. The knife skills in this lab are not new. I will be looking for these techniques in lab, so here are some reminders if you need them! Red Bell Pepper Onion
