Provided by Jennifer Segal

Categories     Dinner

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar, packed
¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice, from 2-3 limes
1½ tablespoons vegetable oil
½ teaspoon Asian sesame oil
¾ teaspoon Garam Masala (substitute curry powder if you can't find it)
3 cloves garlic, minced
1½ teaspoons fresh grated ginger
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (use less if you don't like heat)
8 skinless, boneless chicken thighs
2 scallions light and dark green parts only, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, mix together all of the ingredients except for the chicken and scallions. Set ¼ cup of the marinade aside and cover (you'll use this later for the sauce), then place the rest in a zip-lock freezer bag with the chicken thighs. Be sure the chicken is evenly coated with the marinade, then place the bag in the refrigerator (in a bowl in case of leakage); let marinate for 3-4 hours.
  • Preheat grill to high heat.
  • Grease the grill. (Lightly dip a wad of paper towels in vegetable oil; then, using tongs, carefully rub the towels over the grates several times until glossy and coated.) Place the chicken on the grill; cover and cook 3-5 minutes on each side, or until nicely browned and done. Transfer the chicken to a serving platter, then top with the reserved marinade and sliced scallions.

CHINESE BARBECUED CHICKEN



Chinese Barbecued Chicken image

This is a terrific recipe that I found, and tweaked successfully, in Ken Hom's Quick and Easy Chinese Cooking. The original has double the amount of sesame oil but I feel a little of that goes a long way...double it if you wish. This can be served hot or cold. It's delicious! Prep time does not include 1 hour marinating time.

Categories     Chicken

Time 55m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 whole chicken (about 3-3 1/2 lbs.)
2 teaspoons salt

5 tablespoons hoisin sauce
3 tablespoons rice wine or 3 tablespoons dry sherry
1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
1 teaspoon chili paste
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

Steps:

  • Cut the chicken into quarters and rub each piece evenly with the salt.
  • Combine the rest of the ingredients in a blender or food processor and puree them.
  • Place the chicken in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over.
  • Squish around good so the marinade is evenly coating the chicken.
  • Set aside to marinate at least 1 hour at room temperature, or refrigerate overnight.
  • Preheat broiler, light a fire in an open gril or turn on your gas grill.
  • When your chosen cooking method is hot, place the chicken on the grill and cook, over indirect heat, for about 45 minutes turning occasionally, or until meat is no longer pink near the joints.
  • This is really good served with steamed jasmine rice and greens or stir-fried pea pods and mushrooms.

This is my familys favorite BBQ chicken. It's easy, sweet & spicy & very flavorfull. I serve it with steamed rice & my Fresh Kimchee Salad.

OVEN-BARBECUED ASIAN CHICKEN



Oven-Barbecued Asian Chicken image

From EatingWell,com: November/December 2011, Eating Well One-Pot Meals -- This Asian barbecued chicken made in a casserole dish is truly finger-licking good! You can make this with 2 bone-in chicken breasts (about 12 ounces each) instead of thighs and drumsticks, if you prefer. Remove the skin (if desired) and cut each chicken breast in half on the diagonal to get 4 portions about equal in weight.

Provided by KerfuffleUponWincle

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 bunch scallion
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon reduced sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon Asian chili sauce (such as Sriracha, or to taste)
1/4 teaspoon Chinese five spice powder (see TIPS BELOW)
1 -2 tablespoon honey (optional)
4 bone-in chicken thighs (1 1/4-1 1/2 pounds total, trimmed, remove skin if desired)
4 chicken drumsticks (1-1 1/4 pounds total ~ trimmed)
1 1/2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds (see TIPS BELOW)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F Coat a 9-by-13-inch (or similar-size) baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Thinly slice 1/4 cup scallion greens; set aside.
  • Mince the scallion whites. Whisk the scallion whites, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, hot sauce, five-spice powder, and honey (OPTIONAL) in a large bowl. Add chicken and toss to coat. Arrange the chicken in an even layer in the prepared baking dish, meatier-side down. Pour any remaining sauce from the bowl over the chicken.
  • Bake, turning once halfway so the meatier side is up, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part without touching bone registers 165°F, about 1 hour.
  • Transfer the chicken to a serving platter and top with any remaining sauce from the baking dish.
  • Sprinkle with sesame seeds and the reserved scallion greens.
  • TIPS:.
  • Chinese five-spice powder is a blend of cinnamon, cloves, fennel seed, star anise and Szechuan peppercorns. Look for it in the spice section of the supermarket, or with other Asian ingredients.
  • Sesame seeds can be toasted in a small dry skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly, until golden and fragrant, about 2 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or drumsticks are ideal for this recipe, as they stay moist and juicy during cooking.
  • Make sure your marinade is flavorful: The marinade is what gives the chicken its delicious flavor, so make sure to use a good-quality soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. You can also add other ingredients to your marinade, such as garlic, ginger, or honey, to taste.
  • Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors of the marinade to penetrate the chicken and make it more flavorful.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat: This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out.
  • Baste the chicken frequently with the marinade: This will help to keep the chicken moist and flavorful.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides: Some popular options include rice, noodles, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Asian BBQ chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its sweet, savory, and tangy flavor, this dish is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give Asian BBQ chicken a try. You won't be disappointed!
