GRILLED CHICKEN ADOBO



Grilled Chicken Adobo image

This is a very tasty and easy-to-make Filipino chicken dish made with soy sauce, garlic, and vinegar. I can just as easily double or triple the chicken in this recipe to serve guests at a party. Serve over rice with just a little of the sauce (not too much).

BARBECUED CHICKEN ADOBO



Barbecued Chicken Adobo image

This chicken gets a double dose of potent pantry ingredients. First, the meat absorbs a vinegar-soy mixture seasoned with garlic, ginger, and peppercorns. Then, after the mixture has been boiled and the chicken is on the grill, the thighs get a glaze of sweetened soy flavored with bay leaves. This recipe is adapted from Weber's Ultimate Grilling.

Provided by Jamie Purviance

Categories     Main Course

Yield 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 large cloves garlic, smashed and peeled
1 2-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and coarsely chopped
2 tsp. black peppercorns, lightly crushed
1 cup distilled white vinegar
1/2 cup soy sauce
2 Tbs. vegetable oil
8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (each about 6 oz.), trimmed of excess fat and skin
2 packed Tbs. light brown sugar
4 dried bay leaves
Herbed rice, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • In a food processor, pulse the garlic, ginger, and peppercorns until finely chopped, scraping down the bowl occasionally, about 3 minutes. Add the vinegar, soy sauce, and oil. Process until combined, about 30 seconds.
  • Put the chicken in a large zip-top plastic bag, and pour in the marinade. Press the air out of the bag and seal tightly. Turn the bag to distribute the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 4 hours.
  • Heat the grill to 500°F. When hot, brush the grill grate clean. Prepare the grill for direct and indirect cooking, and reduce the temperature to medium heat, as close as possible to between 350°F and 375°F.
  • Meanwhile, remove the chicken from the marinade, letting the excess drip back into the bag; reserve the marinade. Pour the marinade into a medium saucepan, and stir in the sugar and bay leaves. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium high, and continue to boil until the liquid is reduced to 3/4 cup, whisking occasionally and lowering the heat if necessary so that it doesn't burn, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the glaze from the heat.
  • Keeping the lid closed as much as possible, grill the thighs skin side down first over direct medium heat until golden-brown, turning once, 10 to 12 minutes. Move the chicken pieces over indirect medium heat, skin side up. Brush with the glaze. Continue to grill with the lid closed until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thighs and not touching the bone registers 160°F to 165°F, 20 to 25 minutes. Halfway through cooking time, turn the thighs over to skin side down, and brush with more of the glaze. Remove from the grill. In a small saucepan, bring the remaining glaze to a boil again. Serve the thighs on a bed of herbed rice, if you like, and drizzle with the extra glaze.

1 tablespoon dried Mexican oregano (or Italian dried oregano is fine)
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 lime, juiced (about 1 tablespoon)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Three 6-inch blue or white corn tortillas

TAJíN GRILLED CHICKEN



Tajín Grilled Chicken image

Tajín is a Mexican seasoning made from dried, ground red chiles, sea salt and dehydrated lime juice. It is great sprinkled over fresh cut fruit like mango and pineapple, or rimmed on an ice cold margarita. But it is also an easy way to add chile and lime to your favorite grilled meats, rubs or sauces. In this dish, the lime in the Tajín balances out the sweetness from the agave syrup, while the red chiles complement the smoky flavor of the chipotles. Serve the chicken as is or on toasted hamburger buns with a schmear of mayonnaise, chopped grilled scallions, cilantro leaves and sliced pickled jalapeños. This Tajín sauce also would pair well with grilled bass, cod or salmon, or with shrimp skewers.

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Vegetable oil, for the grill
8 skinless, boneless chicken thighs (about 2 pounds)
Sea salt (or kosher salt)
1/2 cup light agave syrup or honey
1/2 cup fresh orange juice
1 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
3 chipotle chiles in adobo, finely chopped, plus 1/4 cup adobo sauce
6 garlic cloves, finely grated
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon Tajín Clásico
8 scallions, root ends trimmed
1/2 cup cilantro leaves and tender stems

Steps:

  • Prepare a grill for medium-high, direct heat; clean the grates well, then brush them with vegetable oil. Alternatively, heat a grill pan on medium-high and brush the pan with oil.
  • Arrange the chicken on a sheet tray and generously season both sides with salt. Whisk together the agave syrup, orange juice, orange zest, chipotles, adobo, garlic, olive oil and Tajín in a medium bowl.
  • Brush both sides of the chicken with the Tajín sauce. Grill the chicken, turning and basting often with the Tajín sauce, until cooked through, charred but brick red and glazed, 7 to 9 minutes. Grill the scallions, turning occasionally, until lightly charred on all sides, about 5 minutes.
  • Serve the chicken with the grilled scallions, topped with cilantro.

Remove chicken from marinade, pat dry with paper towels, and place in a medium bowl. Season with remaining teaspoon salt.
  • Cook Chicken:.
  • Heat oven to 375°F In a large cast-iron skillet, over medium, heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Cook chicken until dark golden brown on one side, about 5 minutes; turn chicken over and continue to cook until the underside is dark brown, another 5 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: For best results, use a whole chicken cut into 8 pieces, or bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts or thighs.
  • Make the marinade ahead of time: The longer the chicken marinates, the more flavorful it will be. You can marinate the chicken for up to 24 hours, but at least 30 minutes is recommended.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat: This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out. If you are using a grill, cook the chicken over indirect heat.
  • Baste the chicken with the marinade: This will help to keep the chicken moist and flavorful. Baste the chicken every few minutes, especially during the last 10 minutes of cooking.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.
