Sweet and Spicy Honey-Glazed Grilled Chicken with Spinach Salad and Pantry Dressing image

Provided by Michael Symon : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 1/2 pounds chicken (I'm using thighs)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon favorite spice mix (I'm using Old Bay)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons honey (I'm using wildflower)
2 tablespoons mustard (I'm using sweet and spicy brown mustard)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 pound leafy greens (I'm using baby spinach)
One 14-ounce can beans, rinsed and drained (I'm using chickpeas)
1/2 cup sliced red onion
4 strips bacon, diced
1/4 cup vinegar (I'm using white wine vinegar)
1 tablespoon honey (I'm using wildflower)
1 tablespoon mustard (I'm using sweet and spicy brown mustard)
Leftover ketchup in the container (or about 1 tablespoon ketchup)

Steps:

  • For the chicken: Preheat a grill or oven to 450 degrees F. If using a gas grill, set to medium-high heat on one side and low on the other side. If using a charcoal grill, bank hot coals on one side of the grill.
  • Brush the chicken with the oil and season with the spice mix and a liberal amount of salt and pepper. Put the chicken on the hot side of the grill bone-side down, close the lid and cook for 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together the honey, mustard and soy sauce in a small bowl.
  • Flip the chicken, brush with the glaze and grill for 1 to 2 minutes. Move the chicken to the cool side of the grill bone-side down and apply the remaining glaze. Close the lid, open the vents halfway if using a charcoal grill and continue to cook until the chicken registers 160 degrees F in the thickest part, 15 to 20 minutes longer. If using the oven, place the chicken bone-side down on a baking sheet and roast, brushing with the glaze occasionally, until the chicken registers 160 degrees F in the thickest part, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • For the spinach salad: In a medium bowl, mix together the spinach, chickpeas and onions in a large bowl; set aside.
  • Put a heavy-bottomed skillet on the hot side of the grill, add the bacon and cook until crisp.
  • Add the vinegar, mustard, and honey to an almost-empty ketchup container and shake vigorously (or whisk together the vinegar, mustard, honey and ketchup in a small bowl). Remove the skillet from the heat and mix in the ketchup mixture to make a warm dressing.
  • Pour the dressing over the greens and toss together. Transfer the greens to a platter and top with the chicken.

GRILLED BALSAMIC CHICKEN



Grilled Balsamic Chicken image

I love the unique flavor of Balsamic Vinegar. This is one of my favorite ways to grill chicken. I would suggest doubling the marinade if you want more to use as a dipping sauce. This marinade is also excellant on Pork Chops! NOTE: Plan Ahead! Marinate 4-6 hours or overnight. Not included in cook time.
