Provided by Michael Symon : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon maple syrup
1 tablespoon mustard (I'm using Dijon)
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 pounds grill meat (I'm using a whole chicken, split)
Salt and pepper
1 pound lunch meat or bacon, diced (I'm using bacon)
1 pound leafy greens (I'm using kale and mustard greens)
1 teaspoon chile flakes, optional
1 splash vinegar (I'm using sherry vinegar)

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill or oven to 450 degrees F. If using a grill, set up hot and cool zones by turning one side of a gas grill to the high setting or by banking very hot coals on one side of a charcoal grill.
  • Whisk together the maple syrup, mustard and soy sauce in a medium bowl. Toss the chicken in the marinade and season with salt and pepper. Place the chicken on the hot side of the grill bone-side down and grill 3 to 5 minutes. Move the chicken to the cool side of the grill, close the lid and cook until the thickest part of a thigh registers 160 degrees F, 30 to 40 minutes. If using the oven, place the chicken bone-side down on a sheet tray and roast until the thickest part of a thigh registers 160 degrees F, 30 to 40 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, add the bacon to a large saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until crispy, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the greens, chile flakes if using, a pinch of salt and 1/4 cup water and cover with the lid. Cook until the greens are tender, about 5 minutes. Splash with some vinegar and serve with the chicken on top.

MAPLE BARBECUE GRILLED CHICKEN



Maple Barbecue Grilled Chicken image

Sweet, sticky, charred, and crispy: Barbecued chicken is one of the surest signs of summer. Store-bought sauce has nothing on this easy homemade version, which uses maple syrup for sweetness and Sriracha for heat. Use whatever bone-in chicken parts you like and save the leftover sauce for everything else you plan to grill this week.

Yield 4-6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
3 garlic cloves, crushed
6 Tbsp. double-concentrated tomato paste
½ cup pure maple syrup
¼ cup soy sauce
¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
2 Tbsp. unseasoned rice vinegar
4 tsp. Sriracha or other hot sauce
Vegetable oil (for grill)
1 (3½-4-lb.) whole chicken, cut into 6-8 pieces, or whatever bone-in cut of chicken you feel like cooking
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a small saucepan over medium. Cook garlic, turning occasionally, until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Add tomato paste and cook, stirring constantly and scraping bottom of pan, until slightly darkened, about 3 minutes. Add maple syrup, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, and Sriracha. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until flavors have come together, about 1 minute. Remove from heat. Transfer about half of barbecue sauce to a heatproof bowl and set aside for serving.
  • Prepare a grill for medium-high indirect heat (for a charcoal grill, bank coals on one side of grill; for a gas grill, leave one or two burners off); oil grate. Season chicken generously with salt. Grill chicken over direct heat, turning every minute, until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Move chicken over indirect heat. Cover, positioning vent (if your grill has one) over chicken, and continue to grill, keeping grill covered as much as possible and turning every 5 minutes or so, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part registers 140°F-145°F, 18-25 minutes depending on the size of the pieces. Baste chicken with barbecue sauce and grill, turning and basting occasionally, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part registers 160°F for breast and 165°F for dark meat, about 10 minutes longer.
  • Arrange chicken on a platter. Serve with reserved barbecue sauce alongside.
  • Do Ahead: Barbecue sauce can be made 2 weeks ahead. Transfer to an airtight container; cover and chill.
