Time 2h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 whole organic chicken, cut into 10 pieces
2 cups water
1 cup light brown sugar
1/2 head garlic, unpeeled
4 slices fresh ginger root, gently bashed to open up
2 tablespoons kosher salt
8 sprigs fresh thyme
2 cups teriyaki sauce
1/4 cup honey
1 large (1-inch) piece fresh ginger root, sliced and bashed to open up
1 head garlic, halved crosswise
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil, plus 1/2 cup
Freshly ground black pepper
Scallion threads, for garnish
Toasted sesame seeds, for garnish

Steps:

  • Begin by making the brine. Combine the water, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, salt and thyme in a large resealable bag and swirl to dissolve the sugar. Add chicken pieces and allow to brine for 1 to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
  • Preheat grill to low-medium heat.
  • Make teriyaki glaze: In a small saucepan, over medium heat, combine teriyaki sauce, honey, ginger, garlic, and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, and simmer until rich and slightly reduced.
  • Remove chicken from brine and pat dry. Discard the brine. Add the chicken to a large mixing bowl, drizzle with the 1/4 cup toasted sesame oil and season with freshly ground black pepper. Toss to coat and cook on a low-medium grill for 17 to 20 minutes per side until cooked through. Baste with teriyaki glaze for the last 5 to 7 minutes of cooking. Serve garnish with scallion threads (finely sliced scallions cut on the bias soaked in ice cold water), and toasted sesame seeds.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Choose the Right Chicken: For this recipe, boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts work best. They're juicy and flavorful, and they hold up well to grilling.
  • Make Sure Your Grill is Clean: A clean grill will help prevent your chicken from sticking and burning.
  • Preheat Your Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat before adding the chicken. This will help sear the chicken and lock in the juices.
  • Don't Overcook the Chicken: Chicken is cooked through when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Overcooking will make the chicken dry and tough.
  • Let the Chicken Rest: After grilling, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before cutting into it. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

This grilled honey teriyaki chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a summer cookout. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the honey teriyaki sauce is sweet, savory, and slightly sticky. Serve it with your favorite sides, such as rice, noodles, or vegetables.
