Susan's Jee Bow Gai image

This is an Asian dish that I've had for a long time, and it can be either an appetizer or main dish when served with rice. It originally was supposed to deep fried in small foil packets, but I found that way too messy. Grilling it is oh so yummy! The longer it marinates, the better it is. Personally I prefer it to marinade for 2 days.

Time 12h30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

½ cup white sugar
¼ cup black bean sauce
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
¼ cup minced green onions
5 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons dry sherry
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
4 teaspoons minced fresh ginger root
2 teaspoons minced garlic
½ teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
2 pounds chicken tenders
12 (6 inch) wooden skewers, or as needed, soaked in water for 30 minutes

Steps:

  • Whisk together the sugar, black bean sauce, parsley, green onions, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sherry, sesame oil, vegetable oil, ginger, garlic, and five-spice powder in a bowl, and pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add the chicken, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator overnight, up to 2 days, turning occasionally.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate. Remove the chicken from the marinade, and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade. Weave the chicken tenders onto skewers.
  • Cook the skewered chicken on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, turning occasionally, about 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

I'm not a fan of chicken, but I loved this recipe. The sauce was so flavorful and the chicken was cooked perfectly. I'll definitely be making this again.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think next time I'll use less chili sauce or maybe even omit it altogether.

I'm not a huge fan of ginger, so I used less than the recipe called for. I also added a bit of honey to the sauce to make it a little sweeter. It turned out really well, and I'm glad I made it.

I made a few substitutions to this recipe based on what I had on hand. I used boneless, skinless chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts, and I added some chopped vegetables to the sauce. It turned out great! The chicken was tender and flavorful, a
