Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/3 cup Fusia Asian Inspirations Soy Sauce
¼ cup water
2 tablespoons Carlini Toasted Sesame Oil or Olive Oil
2 tablespoons Simply Nature Organic Wildflower Honey
2 tablespoons packed Simply Nature Organic Light Brown Sugar (or sub coconut sugar)
1 small or medium lime, juiced
3 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger
1 teaspoon Stonemill Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
2 ½ pounds chicken drumsticks, skin removed (or chicken breasts and/or thighs will also work)
To garnish:
Chopped Southern Grove Honey Roasted Peanuts
Diced green onion
Diced cilantro

Steps:

  • Make the chicken marinade. In a large bowl, whisk together soy sauce, water, oil, honey, brown sugar, lime juice, garlic, ginger and red pepper flakes. Reserve 1/2 cup of marinade and place in a small bowl in the fridge. You'll use this for glazing the chicken on the grill later.
  • Marinate the chicken: Pat the drumsticks dry, remove the skin, season them with a pinch of salt, and add them to the large bowl or a shallow dish with the Thai chicken marinade. Mix to coat the chicken evenly, then marinate in the refrigerator for a minimum of 1 hour, or up to 24 hours.
  • About a half hour before you're ready to cook the chicken, remove the chicken from the marinade and allow it to come to room temperature. Preheat a grill to 400 degrees F.
  • Grill the chicken: brush the hot grill grate with oil. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 8 minutes, then flip. Generously brush each drumstick with the reserved marinade a few times, and grill for an additional 8 minutes. Turn the chicken over one last time, brush again with the remaining marinade, and cook for 5 more minutes or until no pink remains in the center of the chicken.
  • To serve: Place the chicken on a platter or large plate, then garnish with honey roasted peanuts, diced green onion and cilantro. Serves 4, 2 drumsticks each.

Provided by shawnajean

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 tablespoon grill seasoning, recommended brand Montreal
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon sweet smoked paprika
3 tablespoons brown sugar
vegetable oil cooking spray or oil, for the grill
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts

Steps:

  • Preheat an indoor or outdoor grill to high.
  • In a large baggie, combine the grill seasoning, chili powder, paprika and brown sugar. Place the chicken breasts in the baggie and give them a good shimmy shake.
  • Spray or oil down your grill then place the chicken on it and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, until cooked through.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken breasts: Look for boneless, skinless chicken breasts that are about the same size so they cook evenly.
  • Make sure the chicken is properly cooked: Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Don't overcrowd the grill: Leave some space between the chicken breasts so they cook evenly and don't steam.
  • Use a good quality grill brush: This will help you clean the grill grates and prevent the chicken from sticking.
  • Baste the chicken with the sauce: This will help keep the chicken moist and flavorful.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and juicy.

Conclusion:

Sweet and spicy grilled chicken breasts are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and juicy chicken dish that will be a hit with your family and friends. So fire up the grill and give this recipe a try!
