Nicely, That Was Sudden.
If you happen to described this meal to me, I’d elevate my eyebrows at you. Hen on a sheet pan, with just a few fundamental sauce parts poured proper excessive? Like, actually?
However each time I’ve made this apricot rooster, each Bjork and I and our buddies have actually mentioned outloud – Wow. Why is that this so good? It’s humble, it’s low-key, but it surely has completely unbelievable taste.
Sesame oil, soy sauce, with a little bit of sweetness (our buddy apricot jam! 😍) are a superb taste base – however the factor that deserves many of the taste credit score right here is that tangle of charred scallions. They offer a pleasant oniony taste, but in addition a roasty depth feels such as you spent just a few hours on this as an alternative of simply quarter-hour.
The rooster stays tender and juicy because of a brief bake time, the scallions are enjoyable and fairly, and if you happen to can scrape up any browned bits or juices from the pan to spoon over your rice bowl, you’re in for a deal with. It’s so good.
