Irish Soda Breasts Recipe

How to make it

---

• I COOK THIS IN A TOASTER OVEN.
• PREHEAT IT TO 375
• WASH THE CHICKEN & CUT THE FULL BREASTS IN HALF & DRY
• ON A DINNER SIZED PLATE, SPREAD THE CHICKEN OUT
• PREPARE EACH SIDE COMPLETELY BEFORE DOING THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BREAST.
• POUR NEARLY A TABLESPOON OF HONEY ON EACH SIDE OF EACH BREAST.
• OVER EACH BREAST SPRINKLE ONE HALF TABLESPOON CARAWAY SEEDS PER SIDE.
• SPRINKLE THE SEA SALT TO YOUR TASTE.
• ***REMEMBER, SEA SALT HAS NEARLY HALF THE SODIUM OF REGULAR SALT. UNTIL YOU'RE AWARE OF THE DIFFERENCES, REMEMBER, YOU CAN ALWAYS ADD MORE, BUT YOU CAN NOT EVER UNDO YOUR SALTING.
• PUT YOUR IRISH SODA BREASTS ON THE TOASTER OVEN TRAY.
• JUST BEFORE YOU PUT THEM INTO THE TOASTER OVEN, CUT 1 TABLESPOON WORTH OF BUTTER
• CUT THIS IN HALF AGAIN AND PUT 3 OR 4 DOLLOPS OF YOUR 1/2 TABLESPOON OF BUTTER ALL OVER 1 BREAST, SAVING THE OTHER HALF FOR WHEN YOU TURN IT OVER.
• DO THE SAME FOR THE 3 OTHER BREASTS.
• PUT THEM INTO THE TOASTER OVEN AND BAKE FOR 12 TO 15 MINUTES.
• PULL THEM OUT & TURN THEM OVER.
• (IF YOU ARE SO INCLINED YOU CAN ADD A LITTLE MORE HONEY & A COUPLE MORE SEEDS TO THE UNCOOKED SIDE,
• IT'S NOT NECESSARY, BUT IF YOU WANT TO PUMP UP THE FLAVOR, DO SO WITH A SOFT TOUCH.)
• ADD THE REMAINING BUTTER IN THE SAME FASHION YOU DID TO THE FIRST SIDE & PUT THEM BACK IN TO FINISH COOKING.
• ****TOASTER OVENS VARY, SO CHECK THEM AFTER THEY'VE COOKED FOR 5 TO 7 MINUTES.
• OVER COOKED CHICKEN STINKS, EVEN IF IT'S DIVINE AND UNDER COOKED CHICKEN'S JUST DANGEROUS.
• ****I RECOMMEND THAT THE FIRST TIME YOU MAKE THIS, SACRIFICE 1 BREAST BY CUTTING IT IN HALF TO TEST FOR DONENESS.
• CENTER WHITE CHICKEN IS COOKED & TRANSLUCENT CHICKEN ISN'T. CUT AT THICKEST PART.
• REMEMBER THAT SMALLER PIECES WILL COOK MORE QUICKLY AND LARGER PIECES WILL TAKE LONGER.
• WHEN COOKED, PLATE, SERVE & ENJOY.
• I HAPPEN TO LIKE THEM COLD AS WELL SO I MAKE THEM AHEAD OF TIME FOR PICNICS.
