Marinade
- ½ cup (125 ml) soy sauce  
- ½ cup (125 ml) honey

Bake for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, basting the chicken with the marinade every 10 to 15 minutes, or until a thermometer inserted into the thigh, without touching the bone, reads 180°F (82°C). Place the chicken on a warm plate. Strain the cooking juices through a sieve.
- If desired, reduce the cooking juices into a small saucepan until syrupy. Brush the chicken with the sauce.
- Serve with Sautéed Spinach with Garlic and rice noodles.
