Time 2h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 pounds whole broiler-fryer chicken
3 tablespoons sherry or orange juice
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
KUMQUAT SAUCE
1/3 cup thinly sliced preserved kumquats (from jar) or dried peaches or dried apricots
1/2 cup orange juice
3 tablespoons orange marmalade
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1 tablespoon cold water
2 teaspoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons slivered almonds, toasted
1 tablespoon orange-flavored liqueur, if desired

Steps:

  • Brush grill rack with vegetable oil. Heat coals or gas grill for indirect heat. Fold wings of chicken across back with tips touching. Tie or skewer drumsticks to tail. Insert barbecue meat thermometer so tip is in thickest part of inside thigh muscle and does not touch bone. Cover and grill chicken, breast side up, over drip pan and 4 to 6 inches from MEDIUM heat 45 minutes. While chicken is grilling, mix sherry, soy sauce and garlic powder; brush over chicken. Cover and grill about 45 minutes longer, brushing once or twice with sherry mixture, until thermometer reads 180F and juice of chicken is no longer pink when center of thigh is cut. Discard any remaining sherry mixture. About 20 minutes before chicken is done, prepare Kumquat Sauce. Serve chicken with sauce. KUMQUAT SAUCE: Remove seeds from kumquats. Mix orange juice, orange marmalade, lemon juice and ginger in 1-quart saucepan. (If using dried peaches or apricots, add them to saucepan.) Heat to boiling. Mix water and cornstarch; stir into orange juice mixture. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Boil and stir about 1 minute or until thickened. Stir in kumquats, almonds and liqueur.

KUMQUAT'S SPICY ORIENTAL STIR-FRY



Kumquat's Spicy Oriental Stir-Fry image

My own invention of several years ago (or perhaps a combination of other Asian-type recipes I had seen before), scrupulously tested and vetted. I think the sauce is fantastic; it suits my tastes as it is not as sweet as some chinese restaurant sauces and is probably much more healthful, yet it's still spicy and intensely flavorful. If you have a committed carnivore for a spouse, or if you are one, you can substitute real meat for the wheat gluten. I've made it with tofu and soy-based meat substitutes as well.

Time 4h40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

⅓ cup soy sauce
⅓ cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons orange juice
1 tablespoon Thai-style sweet chili sauce

¼ teaspoon curry powder
4 skinless, boneless chicken thighs

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.

  • 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.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your dish the best flavor. If possible, buy your ingredients from a local farmers market or grocery store.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through: Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Make the sauce ahead of time: The kumquat sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This will save you time when you're ready to serve the dish.

Conclusion:

Asian Chicken with Kumquat Sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the kumquat sauce is sweet and tangy. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
