how to make Black Garlic Chicken

• Preheat The Oven: Before we proceed with the preparation let’s put the oven for preheating. Set the oven to 375 degrees and leave it for 10 minutes to preheat.
  
•  Season The Chicken: To make this juicy chicken dish we will need a large oven-safe casserole dish. Now place the chicken pieces on the casserole, and season them with freshly grounded black pepper and salt. You can also season and mix the chicken in another mixing bowl and transfer them later into the casserole. 
  
  Now, keep it aside and lets proceed.
  
•  Prepare The Sauce: In a large mixing bowl pour 1 tablespoon olive oil or vegetable oil, finely chopped or smashed 3 regular garlic cloves and black garlic cloves each. Give it a good mix and then pour 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tbsp hoisin sauce, 2 tablespoons oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, and 1 tablespoon honey for sweetness.
  Now, use a hand whisk and whisk on high speed to get a smooth sauce. If you don’t have a hand whisker, use a large spoon and mix well until everything mixed and smooth. Then pour all the sauce over the seasoned chicken and toss to coat well.
  
• Bake The Chicken: Its time to bake the chicken in sauce. Place the oven-safe casserole dish in the preheated oven, and bake for 20 minutes at the same heat. After 20 minutes, increase the heat to 450 degrees and let it simmer for 10 minutes. 
  Once 10 minute up, take out the dish, flip the chicken on the other side, and coat this side with the remaining sauce and juices in the pan. 
  Now put the casserole again in the oven and broil for another 10 minutes.  After time is up, our chicken is almost there. We just need to let the black garlic roast chicken get cooked properly for another 20 minutes, reducing the heat to 325 degrees.
  
• Garnish and Serve: Take out the casserole from the oven and let it chill for a few minutes. You can serve it in the casserole, no need to transfer in any other serving bowl. Spread green onions or some parsley or spinach for garnishing. Then take as much as chicken pieces you need in the plate pairing with noodles, steamed rice, fried rice, boiled veggies, salad etc. whatever you like. I love to eat this chickens with dumplings or wontons as well.
