Twice Glazed Asian Barbecued Chicken Recipes

Steps:

• Whisk the vinegar, honey, soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, chili garlic sauce, garlic, and salt in a bowl until smooth. Pour half the marinade into a large plastic zipper bag; retain the other half of the sauce. Place the chicken thighs into the bag containing marinade, squeeze all the air out of the bag, and seal. Shake a few times to coat chicken; refrigerate for 1 hour, turning bag once or twice.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Pour the other half of the marinade into a saucepan over medium heat, bring to a boil, and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring often, to thicken sauce. Remove the chicken from the bag; discard used marinade. Place chicken thighs into a 9x13-inch baking dish, and brush with 1/3 of the thickened marinade from the saucepan.
• Bake 30 minutes, basting one more time after 10 minutes; an instant-read thermometer inserted into a chicken thigh should read 165 degrees F (75 degrees C). Let stand for 5 or 10 minutes; meanwhile, bring remaining marinade back to a boil for 1 or 2 minutes, and serve chicken with marinade. Sprinkle with green onions.

Steps:

• Place the soy sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, orange juice, sweet chili sauce, chili-garlic sauce, garlic, and curry powder in a large plastic zipper bag. Seal and knead the bag with your fingers to mix all the ingredients and dissolve the sugar. Place the chicken thighs into the marinade, squeeze out the air from the bag, zip the bag closed, and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-low heat; lightly oil the grate.
• Remove the chicken from the bag, pour the excess marinade into a small saucepan, and bring to a full boil for about 1 minute to sterilize the marinade.
• Grill the chicken thighs until they are no longer pink in the middle and show grill marks, about 25 minutes, basting them generously with the sterilized marinade as they grill.

Steps:

• In small bowl, combine all ingredients except chicken pieces; mix well. Place chicken in 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish or large resealable food storage plastic bag. Pour soy sauce mixture over chicken; turn to coat. Cover dish or seal bag. Refrigerate at least 1 hour or up to 8 hours to marinate, turning chicken several times.
• Heat gas or charcoal grill. When grill is heated, remove chicken from marinade; reserve marinade. Place chicken on gas grill over medium heat or on charcoal grill 4 to 6 inches from medium coals. Cook 15 to 20 minutes or until chicken is fork-tender and juices run clear, turning and brushing several times with reserved marinade. Discard any remaining marinade.

Steps:

• 1. BRINE THE CHICKEN Cut your chicken into serving pieces, remove skin. Leave bone in. Cut a couple of slashes at an angle across the top of each piece about 1 1/2 inches apart almost to the bone. Here is how to brine the chicken. It is very easy to do. All you need is the kosher salt and enough water to cover the chicken pieces. (not table salt) I use a large plastic container big enough to hold all the pieces and one that will fit in my refrigerator. Place 1/2 cup KOSHER salt in the container and add the water, stir well, and then add the chicken pieces. Let it brine ONLY a couple of hours, then rinse the chicken, discard the brine, and return the chicken to the refrigerator.
• 2. FIRST BAKING Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Take a plastic bag, put in the one cup of flour and 1 teaspoon of salt. Mix well. Add chicken, a few pieces at a time, shake to coat. Then lightly brown the chicken pieces and place them slash side up in a deep dish sprayed with Pam. At least 13x9. (I use a deep lasagna dish as in the photo) Bake in the oven for 20 minutes.
• 3. MAKE THE SAUCE Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, heat the ingredients for the sauce and keep it hot until the chicken has baked.
• 4. SECOND BAKING When the chicken has finished baking, remove the chicken to the stove, and pour the pan of simmering sauce directly over the chicken, taking care to cover evenly. Return the dish to the oven, and bake for 30 minutes more until it is bubbling and starting to brown. I cover with a tent of foil until ready to serve.
• 5. Cook's Tip: I encourage you to not skip the brining step as it makes the meat fork tender and juicy. Enjoy!

Steps:

• In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the soy sauce, oil, honey, ginger root, and garlic. Heat in microwave on medium for 1 minute, then stir. Heat again for 30 seconds, watching closely to prevent boiling.
• Place chicken breasts in a shallow dish. Pour soy sauce mixture over, and set aside to marinate for 15 minutes.
• Preheat a grill for medium-high heat. Drain marinade from chicken into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, and simmer over medium heat for 5 minutes. Set aside for basting.
• Lightly oil the grill grate. Cook chicken on the prepared grill 6 to 8 minutes per side, or until juices run clear. Baste frequently with remaining marinade. Chicken will turn a beautiful golden brown.
