Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3/4 cup hoisin sauce
3 scallions, coarsely chopped
5 cloves garlic
1 2-inch piece fresh ginger, sliced
1 jalapeno pepper, stemmed and halved (remove seeds for less heat)
Zest and juice of 2 limes, plus lime wedges for garnish
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 pounds skin-on chicken thighs and drumsticks (separate pieces)
1/2 cup rice vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
Kosher salt
1 seedless cucumber, thinly sliced
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Prepare the chicken: Preheat a grill to medium on one side. Combine the hoisin sauce, scallions, garlic, ginger, jalapeno, lime zest and juice, vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste in a mini food processor or blender; process until almost smooth. Season the chicken with salt; toss with the hoisin mixture in a large bowl.
  • Make the salad: Bring the vinegar, sugar and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt to a boil in a small saucepan, stirring. Remove from the heat; stir in 1/4 cup ice cubes until melted. Toss the cucumber and red onion in a serving bowl with the vinegar mixture; place in the refrigerator.
  • Grill the chicken over direct heat until the skin is crisp, 5 minutes per side, basting with extra marinade. Transfer to the cooler side of the grill; cover and grill until cooked through, 10 to 15 more minutes. Serve with the cucumber salad and lime wedges.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my chicken turned out tough and chewy. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I made it with some rotisserie chicken, and it turned out great.

I found the sauce to be a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less hoisin sauce or adding some acidity, such as lemon juice or rice vinegar.

I'm not a huge fan of hoisin sauce, but this recipe changed my mind. The sauce is perfectly balanced, and it pairs so well with the chicken and cucumber salad.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the sauce was delicious. I would recommend using a different cut of chicken, such as thighs or breasts.
