Provided by Tyler Florence

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups soy sauce
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup dark sesame oil
1 lime, juiced
4 inches fresh ginger, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded thin

Steps:

  • Combine the 1 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons sesame oil, half of the lime juice, ginger, and garlic, and 1/4 cup cilantro in the bottom of each of 2 large freezer bags. Put 2 chicken breasts in each bag and get them coated with the marinade. Then set the bags on a work surface, force the air out and seal them. Allow chicken to marinade for 1 hour. You can also freeze the chicken right in the marinade at this point. To do so fold each bag over the chicken 3 times, tape them well, and date them. Put it in the freezer for up to 2 months.
  • Place a large grill pan on 2 burners over medium-high heat, or preheat an outdoor gas or charcoal grill. Fold a few paper towels into a thick square. Blot some oil on the paper towels and then carefully and quickly wipe the ridges of the gill pan or the hot grates of the grill to make a non-stick surface.
  • Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade and season with salt and pepper. Lay the chicken on the hot grill and cook 3 to 5 minutes on each side until charred and firm. Serve with the sesame noodles and cucumber pickles.

GINGERY GRILLED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH CHARRED PEACHES



Gingery Grilled Chicken Thighs With Charred Peaches image

Coated in a balsamic vinegar glaze that's spiked with ginger, garlic and soy sauce, these chicken thighs are sweet-tart and irresistibly sticky. They're served with grilled thyme and honey butter-basted peaches, which become soft and wonderfully jammy on the fire. The yogurt is optional. It adds a cool and creamy counterpart to the char and smoke, but the dish is just as satisfying without it.

Categories     dinner, poultry, main course

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

5 tablespoons balsamic vinegar (preferably the good, syrupy kind)
2 tablespoons finely grated fresh ginger and any ginger juice from a 2-inch piece
Kosher salt
2 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
8 fresh thyme sprigs, or 4 fresh rosemary sprigs
3 garlic cloves, finely grated or mashed to a paste
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon fresh lime juice, plus more as needed
Olive oil, for brushing
Plain whole-milk yogurt, for serving (optional)
3 scallions, white and green parts, thinly sliced (optional)
Handful of torn fresh basil (optional)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme, or 2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
1 teaspoon honey
3 to 4 ripe peaches or nectarines, halved and pitted
Flaky sea salt

Steps:

  • Marinate the chicken: In a small bowl, mix together balsamic vinegar, grated ginger and a pinch of salt.
  • Season chicken all over with salt, and put it in a larger bowl or resealable bag. Add 2 tablespoons of the balsamic mixture. (Give it a stir before measuring in case any of the ginger has fallen to the bottom. Save remaining balsamic for serving.) Add the thyme, garlic, soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon lime juice. Cover bowl or close bag, and let chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
  • Light the grill or heat the broiler, arranging the rack about 4 inches from the heat source.
  • Prepare the peaches: In a bowl, combine butter, thyme and honey. Brush peaches lightly with butter mixture and place in a grilling basket, if you have one, or directly on the grill. Grill over direct heat until just charred, 2 to 4 minutes per side. You'll know they are done when the skin curls back and the flesh starts to melt. Transfer to a serving platter or plates, and, if you like, drizzle with a little more of the butter mixture and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
  • If there's room on the grill, cook the chicken at the same time (or wait until peaches are done). Brush off any clinging pieces of marinade from chicken, pat it dry, and coat lightly with oil. Grill or broil until charred and browned, 4 to 6 minutes per side.
  • Transfer chicken to a platter or serving plates, along with the peaches. Serve with dollops of yogurt on the side if you like, and a drizzle with some of the remaining gingery balsamic and a little more olive oil. Scatter with scallions and basil, if using, for garnish.

Combine ginger, garlic, chili bean paste, and soy sauce in a marinade for grilled chicken. After grilling for 30 minutes, it will turn out tender and never dry.

Provided by Tadashi Ono

Time 55m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

½ cup soy sauce
2 Tbsp. sake
2 Tbsp. grated fresh ginger
4 cloves grated garlic
2 tsp. tobanjan
2 Tbsp. packed brown sugar
1 tsp. salt
2 half chickens (3 to 4 pounds total)

Steps:

  • Mix together the soy sauce, sake, ginger, garlic, tobanjan, brown sugar, and salt in a bowl to make the marinade. Pour three-fourths of the marinade into a baking dish or rimmed sheet pan; reserve the rest. Lay the chicken in the marinade and flip the halves four times to generously coat all over. Use a rubber spatula or your hands to make sure all the crevices are well coated. Marinate the chicken halves for 10 minutes, turning once.
  • Preheat a grill to medium. Grill the chicken, covered, for about 35 minutes. Start by grilling skin side down for about two minutes. Flip the chicken and brush on the reserved marinade.
  • Flip the chicken about every seven minutes, brushing on more marinade after each turn. The chickens are done when very juicy with meat pulling away from the bone. Rest the chicken for five minutes, cut into serving pieces, and serve.

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
3 cloves crushed garlic
3 tablespoons ground ginger
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 limes, juiced

Tips:

  • Use fresh ginger and garlic: Fresh ginger and garlic have a more intense flavor than ground or powdered spices. If you don't have fresh ginger or garlic on hand, you can substitute 1 teaspoon of ground ginger or garlic powder for each tablespoon of fresh ginger or garlic called for in the recipe.
  • Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes: This will help the chicken absorb the flavors of the marinade and make it more tender. If you don't have time to marinate the chicken for 30 minutes, you can marinate it for as little as 15 minutes.
  • Grill the chicken over medium heat: This will help prevent the chicken from burning. If you grill the chicken over high heat, it will cook too quickly and the inside will be undercooked.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through: The internal temperature of the chicken should be 165 degrees Fahrenheit. You can check the internal temperature of the chicken with a meat thermometer.
  • Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving: This will help the chicken retain its juices and make it more tender.

Conclusion:

This ginger garlic grilled chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make recipe that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The chicken is marinated in a flavorful mixture of ginger, garlic, soy sauce, and honey, then grilled until cooked through. The result is a tender, juicy, and flavorful chicken that is sure to please everyone at the table.
