Low-Sodium Garlic-Ginger Chicken - cooking recipe

Ingredients

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)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 425\u00b0.
(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.
Bake 1 hour. Remove foil.
Sprinkle with Worcestershire sauce or reduced sodium soy sauce, if desired, and bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes.
