Description

Here is a relatively simple Asian spin on grilled chicken. If you have kids you know that anything that involves food and sticks is a winner.

Ingredients

  • 15 whole Boneless, Skinless Chicken Thighs, Trimmed Of Excess Fat
  • 10 whole Bamboo Skewers
  • _____
  • FOR THE MARINADE:
  • ½ cups Soy Sauce
  • ¾ cups Pineapple Juice
  • ¾ cups Cola (no Diet)
  • 4 cloves Garlic, Crushed
  • 1 teaspoon Ginger Paste
  • 1 teaspoon Chinese Five Spice
  • ½ teaspoons Black Pepper, Ground Fresh
  • ½ teaspoons Red Pepper Flakes
  • _____
  • FOR THE GLAZE:
  • ½ cups Chili Sauce (Heinz, Of Course)
  • ⅓ cups Hoisin Sauce
  • ¼ cups Rice Wine Vinegar
  • ¼ cups Pepper Jelly
  • ¼ teaspoons Chinese Five Spice

Preparation

Combine all of the marinade ingredients in a large zip-top bag, seal and shake gently to combine.

Add the chicken thighs to the bag, seal (removing the excess air) and squish the chicken around to ensure even coverage.

Put the bag in a bowl or baking dish and refrigerate for four hours.

Combine all of the glaze ingredients in a small sauce pan.

Bring the glaze just to a boil over medium heat.

Remove from the heat and set aside.

If you plan to use bamboo skewers, soak them submerged in water for at least an hour.

Prepare your grill for indirect cooking at medium-high heat (about 375 F).

Remove the chicken from the marinade and drain well.

Slide three pieces of chicken onto a pair of parallel skewers (about an inch apart).

Repeat with the remaining thighs.

Grill the chicken over direct heat for about two minutes, or until they are seared nicely.

Flip the skewers over and sear the other side.

Move the skewers to the indirect side of the grill and cook them until the internal temperature is 165 F (about 10-15 minutes).

Brush both sides of the chicken with the glaze and quickly move them over the direct heat for a minute or so. You just want the glaze to get sticky and lightly browned.

Flip the skewers over and cook another minute.

Remove the skewers from the grill, coat them again with the glaze.

Serve and enjoy!

I liked it a lot but I was expecting a more complex flavor. I feel like the marinate flavor is non existent after you put the glaze on since both Hoisin and Chilli are very strong flavors. Liked it a lot….

I made this last night. I marinated the chicken for 24 hours and used breasts instead of thighs. A wonderful and delicious addition to my BBQ season lineup. Thanks for sharing!
