GRILLED CHICKEN WITH PAPAYA BBQ SAUCE
It's June so fire up that BBQ and get busy. With this recipe you'll enjoy the flavors of tropical fruit and citrus along with some heat on your chicken. I strongly suspect that the seasoned rice wine vinegar could be replaced with white wine vinegar. Time does not include marinading time.

Steps:
- Place the garlic, papaya, water, wine, honey, and tomato paste into a food processor. Pulse until until the mixture is finely chopped, about 15 seconds.

GRILLED JERK CHICKEN WITH PAPAYA SALSA
Steps:
- MAKE MARINADE
- Blend all marinade ingredients in a blender until smooth.
- MARINATE AND GRILL CHICKEN
- Divide the chicken pieces and marinade in 2 sealable plastic bags. Seal the bags, pressing out excess air, then turn bags over several times to distribute marinade. Put bags of chicken in a shallow pan and marinate, chilled, turning once or twice, for 1 day.
- Let chicken stand at room temperature 1 hour before cooking.
- COOK CHICKEN USING CHARCOAL GRILL
- Open the vents on the bottom of the grill and on the lid. Light a large chimney of charcoal briquettes (about 100) and pour them evenly over one side of a bottom rack (you will have a double or triple layer of charcoal).
- When the charcoal turns grayish white and you can hold your hand 5 inches above the rack for 3 to 4 seconds, sear the chicken in batches on a lightly oiled rack over the coals until well browned on all sides, about 3 minutes per batch. Move the chicken as seared to the side of the grill with no coals underneath, then cook, covered with the lid, until cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes more.
- Serve the chicken with the papaya salsa.
- COOK CHICKEN USING GAS GRILL
- Preheat the burners on high, then adjust heat to moderate. Cook chicken until well browned on all sides, 15 to 20 minutes. Adjust the heat to low and cook chicken, covered with lid, until cooked through, about 25 minutes more.
- Serve the chicken with papaya salsa.
- COOK CHICKEN USING AN OVEN
- If you can't grill, you can roast the chicken in two large shallow (1-inch-deep) baking pans in the upper and lower thirds of a 400°F oven, switching the position of the pans halfway through the roasting, 40 to 45 minutes total.
Tips:
- Choose ripe papaya: For the best flavor, use ripe papaya that is slightly soft to the touch and has a deep orange color.
- Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in the papaya BBQ sauce for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight, will help to infuse it with flavor.
- Cook the chicken over medium heat: To prevent the chicken from burning, cook it over medium heat. This will also help to ensure that the chicken is cooked through without drying out.
- Baste the chicken with the sauce: While the chicken is cooking, baste it with the papaya BBQ sauce every few minutes. This will help to keep the chicken moist and flavorful.
- Serve with your favorite sides: Chicken with papaya BBQ sauce can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, potatoes, or vegetables.
Conclusion:
Chicken with papaya BBQ sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The papaya BBQ sauce is sweet, tangy, and slightly spicy, and it pairs perfectly with the tender chicken. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
