Grilled Ginger Chicken Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Rinse the chicken and pat dry. Toss the ginger with 2 tablespoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Sprinkle half of the mixture on the chicken; reserve the rest. Refrigerate the chicken, uncovered, at least 2 hours.
• Meanwhile, make the sauce: Pour the ginger beer into a wide skillet; cover and bring to a boil. Uncover and cook over high heat until reduced by half, about 30 minutes. Remove from the heat, add the tea bags and steep 10 minutes; discard the tea bags. Add the onion, tomatoes, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar and thyme. Return to high heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until thick, about 50 minutes, using a potato masher to crush the tomatoes during the last 5 minutes. Remove the thyme. Set aside half of the sauce for serving.
• Bring the chicken to room temperature about 30 minutes before grilling. Preheat a grill to medium with indirect heat: On a charcoal grill, bank the coals to one side; on a gas grill, turn off half of the burners.
• Brush the chicken with some of the butter and sprinkle with some of the remaining ground ginger mixture. Place skin-side up on the cooler side of the grill; cover and cook until it starts browning, about 18 minutes, basting with more butter and sprinkling with more ground ginger mixture halfway through. Brush the chicken with a thick layer of sauce. Cover and cook until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 160 degrees F, about 20 minutes, basting with more sauce halfway through.
• Brush the chicken with more butter, then turn skin-side down and place on the hotter side of the grill (over direct heat). Cook, uncovered, until marked, about 2 minutes. Rotate the chicken to make crisscross grill marks and cook 2 more minutes. Transfer to a board and let rest about 10 minutes. Season with salt and serve with the reserved sauce.

Steps:

• Combine peach preserves, vinegar, horseradish, ginger, salt, and pepper in microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high until preserves are melted, stirring once halfway through the cooking time, 30 to 60 seconds. Remove and cool to room temperature.
• Rinse chicken breasts, pat dry, and place in a resealable plastic bag. Pour cooled marinade over chicken, seal, and refrigerate for 6 to 24 hours, turning chicken occasionally.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Place chicken on preheated grill over indirect heat, cover, and grill until chicken is browned and cooked through, about 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Flatten the breasts to 1/2" thickness.
• Combine lemon juice, ginger, garlic, oil and cumin.
• Spread over the chicken.
• Marinate for 10 minutes.
• Grill or broil 2-3 minutes each side.
• Season with salt & pepper.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, stir soy sauce, lime juice, honey, ginger, garlic and tobasco.
• If you want this as a marinade, make this several hours in advance, pour into a ziploc bag, add chicken and marinate in fridge for several hours shaking often.
• Alternatively, you can brush both sides of the chicken after making the sauce for a quick meal.
• Lightly oil grill and then heat BBQ to medium.
• BBQ with lid closed, turning and basting halfway through with remaining marinade.
• Remember not to baste chicken before taking off grill since raw chicken was in it.
• Make sure the baste is fully cooked before removing from grill.
• Grill for 12- 16 minutes until juices run clear.
