Ingredients
Instructions
- Layer the chicken pieces in a 9 x 13-inch pan.
- Mix the soy sauce, wine or broth, oil, water, garlic, ginger, oregano, and brown sugar to make the marinade.
- Pour half of the marinade over the chicken in the pan.
- Bake in the oven at 350°F, basting every 15 minutes with the remaining marinade.
- After 45 minutes, turn the chicken and continue basting until cooked through.
Tips & Substitutions
For a deeper flavor, marinate the chicken for several hours or overnight. If you don’t have rose wine, chicken broth works well as a substitute. You can also swap brown sugar for honey for a different sweetness. Adding a splash of citrus juice like lemon or lime can brighten the flavors. If you prefer a vegetarian option, try using tofu instead of chicken.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Urasion Chicken with a side of steamed rice or noodles to soak up the delicious marinade. Sautéed vegetables or a fresh green salad make great accompaniments. This dish pairs beautifully with Chicken Chasseur, creating a delightful meal spread. For a special touch, garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro before serving.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover Urasion Chicken can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the chicken in a baking dish, add a splash of broth or water, cover with foil, and warm in a preheated oven at 350°F until heated through. This helps retain moisture and flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen chicken for this recipe?
Yes, you can use frozen chicken, but it's best to thaw it completely in the refrigerator before marinating and cooking. This ensures even cooking and better flavor absorption from the marinade.
What can I do if I don't have fresh garlic?
If you don't have fresh garlic, you can substitute it with 1/8 teaspoon of garlic powder per clove. Adjust according to your taste, as garlic powder can be more concentrated than fresh garlic.
Is it necessary to baste the chicken during cooking?
Basting the chicken helps to keep it moist and enhances the flavor by allowing the marinade to penetrate deeper. If you're short on time, you can skip this step, but the result may be slightly drier than if you baste regularly.
