GRILLED FIRECRACKER CHICKEN



Grilled Firecracker Chicken image

Seems like a lot of Asian dishes are named "Firecracker" and I don't want to confuse you. This isn't Asian, rather, it was inspired by the name of the song that was playing when I first made the marinade.

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/3 cup tomato sauce
1/4 cup apricot jam
2 tablespoons lime juice
3 garlic cloves, chopped
1/2 jalapeno pepper, chopped (take out seeds if you don't like it H.O.T.)
4 (5 ounce) chicken breasts
2 tomatoes, seeded and chopped
2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
1 avocado, diced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon lime juice
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Fire up that grill!
  • Puree the first 5 ingredients. Place about 1/2 of this in a zipper bag with the chicken breasts and marinate for 30 minutes.
  • Combine the next 5 ingredients and season. Keep cool and covered until serving.
  • When Chicken is marinated, remove from the bag, season with salt and pepper and grill for about 6 minutes per side( you should know your grill). Use the remaining-fresh marinade to baste the chicken as it grills or as sauce when it is done. It will get nice and dark (I love the charred sugar smell from the jelly).
  • Serve with the dressed avocado and tomatoes.

GRILLED SPATCHCOCK FIRECRACKER CHICKEN



Grilled Spatchcock Firecracker Chicken image

We've transformed the restaurant classic into the ultimate salty-sweet cookout main course. Cutting the chicken in half and grilling it flat gets you super-crispy skin and a shortened cook time.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

One 3- to 4-pound whole chicken
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Vegetable or neutral oil, for the grill grates
1/2 cup soy sauce, such as Kikkoman® Traditionally Brewed Soy Sauce
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup Buffalo-style hot sauce
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar, such as Kikkoman® Rice Vinegar
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 scallions, sliced
Flatbread, for serving

Steps:

  • Prepare a grill for direct and indirect heat: For gas grills (with 3 or more burners), turn all the burners to medium-high heat; after about 15 minutes, turn off one of the side burners and turn the remaining burners down to medium. For charcoal grills, bank one chimney starter-full of lit and ashed-over charcoal briquettes to one side of the grill. Set up a drip pan on the other side to avoid flare-ups. (Be sure to consult the grill manufacturer's guide for best results.) If your grill has a thermometer, aim to keep the temperature at about 350 degrees F throughout grilling.
  • To spatchcock the chicken: Use kitchen shears to cut out the backbone from the chicken. Lay the chicken breast-side down on a cutting board and use a large knife to cut through the breastbone but not into the flesh. Push the chicken down to flatten it. Cut the wings off at the third joint (at the wing tip). Line a plate with paper towels and put the chicken on it skin-side down to dry the skin. Sprinkle the non-skin side generously with salt and pepper.
  • Oil the grill grates thoroughly. Put the chicken on the indirect-heat side of the grill skin-side down and top with a large cast-iron skillet. Cover the grill and cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the thigh registers 165 degrees F and the skin is golden and very crisp, 35 to 40 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine the soy sauce, sugar, hot sauce, vinegar and red pepper flakes in a medium bowl and whisk to combine.
  • Remove the skillet from the chicken and put it on the direct-heat side of the grill (leave the chicken where it is). Pour the soy mixture into the skillet and bring it to a boil. Immediately transfer the chicken to the skillet with tongs and coat both sides in the sauce. Sprinkle with the scallions and serve with flatbread.

FIRECRACKER FRIED CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS



Firecracker Fried Chicken Drumsticks image

I found this recipe a while back and had to try it. My husband and I fell in love with it. He has to have it at least twice a week. Sometimes I use boneless, skinless chicken breast in place of the drumsticks--the breasts take less cooking time. Enjoy!

8 chicken drumsticks
¼ cup hot pepper sauce
