GINGER CHICKEN STIR-FRY ROMAINE WRAPS WITH CITRUS SOY (PF CHANG)
Found this on the PF Chang website. I'm hoping it's as tasty as the dishes I've tried at their restaurant. A note on the site said this can also be made with baby shrimp, fish, or beef. Vegetable oil can be used if you don't have soy bean oil.

Steps:
- Place the chicken in a mixing bowl and add 2 tablespoons soy bean oil, ginger, garlic, chili flakes, and 2 tablespoons soy sauce. Mix together in circular motion until well mixed. Marinate in refrigerator for 2-4 hours.
- Mix together the citrus juices, soy, and hoisin sauce with a whisk. Reserve until needed. Clean the romaine lettuce, chopping off the stem, peeling each 'spear' and running under clean cold water. Reserve in refrigerator until ready to use. Chop scallions into rings and reserve chilled.
- Coat a very hot sauté pan lightly with soy bean oil. Sauté the chicken (in a thin layer), searing until crispy and golden brown, about 2 ½ minutes. Once chicken is brown, toss gently in pan and sear another 2 ½ minutes. The pan will appear to "burn", but that is the carmelization and where all the flavor comes from.
- Add ½ of the citrus soy mixture to the sauté pan and coat well. Let the sauce coat the chicken until it is glazed, and thickens on the chicken. Add more or less depending on how "wet" you want your mixture. Spoon chicken onto a plate.
- Wrap the chicken mixture onto the romaine lettuce and top with scallion rings. Serve and enjoy!
GINGER-CITRUS CHICKEN THIGHS OFF THE GRILL
The marinade for these chicken thighs is fabulous! The fresh orange and ginger root are what really make it special. You taste the sweetness from the orange, balanced with some spice from the ginger and salty from the soy sauce. We marinated them overnight, and they were so juicy when they came off the grill.

Steps:
- 1. Prepare marinade, with all ingredients, place chicken thighs in bag, marinade half an hour or overnight, your preference.
- 2. Start grill, for indirect grilling. Let ash form on coals.place pan with hickory chips under chicken next to coals. Grill 1 and 1/2 hours basting with reduced marinade the last 20 minutes. Let chicken rest 10 minutes before serving.
- 3. While thighs are grilling, simmer marinade until reduced by a third. Baste thighs with marinade.
Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling during the cooking process.
- Choose the right chicken: For this recipe, boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs work best. If you're using chicken breasts, pound them thin so they cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken, make sure you don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly and will result in steamed chicken rather than seared chicken.
- Use a good quality citrus juice: The citrus juice is a key ingredient in this recipe, so make sure you use a good quality juice. Freshly squeezed juice is always best, but if you're using bottled juice, make sure it's 100% juice and not from concentrate.
- Reduce the sauce: After the chicken is cooked, reduce the sauce until it's thick and syrupy. This will help to concentrate the flavors of the sauce and make it more flavorful.
Conclusion:
This Citrus Ginger Chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and flavorful, and the sauce is sweet, tangy, and slightly spicy. Serve it over rice or noodles, or with a side of vegetables.
