Jo Mama's Hot and Spicy Grilled Chicken image

The sauce for this chicken has such an explosion of flavors--you'll want to lick the plate when you are done. It's sweet, sour, spicy and savory--and it has a bit of a kick. You will end up with nearly 3 cups of sauce, but trust me--you will want all of it.

Time 35m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 1/2 cups water
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons oil
1/4 cup vinegar
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 cup chopped onions or 2 tablespoons onion powder
2 1/2 teaspoons black pepper

2 teaspoons chili powder
1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
1/2 teaspoon red pepper
1 garlic cloves or 1 tablespoon garlic powder
2 -3 lbs chicken parts (with skin or without skin, it is up to you)

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients except for the chicken and bring to a rolling boil. Remove from the heat and cool. Refrigerate sauce overnight to blend flavors.
  • Heat a grill to medium-high heat.
  • Apply sauce to chicken (I spoon it on). Grill to desired doneness, applying sauce liberally as you turn chicken. Cook until done through.
  • If you don't contaminate the sauce with the raw chicken, you can serve it with the cooked chicken. If it gets contaminated, simmer it on the stove for a few minutes.

Categories     dinner, one pot, main course

Time 20m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 teaspoons olive oil
8 ounces skinless boneless chicken breasts
8 ounces whole onion or 7 ounces chopped (1 2/3 cups)
1 clove garlic
1/2 cup bulgur
1/8 teaspoon cardamom
1/8 teaspoon coriander

1 lemon to yield 1/4 teaspoon grated rind and 1 teaspoon juice

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken. For this recipe, bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs are the best choice. They are more flavorful and juicy than boneless, skinless chicken breasts.
  • Make sure the chicken is well-marinated. The marinade helps to flavor the chicken and make it more tender. Be sure to let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Grill the chicken over medium-high heat. This will help to sear the chicken and lock in the juices. Be sure to preheat your grill before cooking the chicken.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through. The best way to check if the chicken is cooked through is to use a meat thermometer. The internal temperature of the chicken should be 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more flavorful and juicy.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides. This recipe pairs well with bulgur, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.

Conclusion:

Grilled Spicy Chicken with Bulgur is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is flavorful and juicy, and the bulgur is a healthy and filling side dish. This recipe is sure to please everyone at your table. Note: This recipe is for informational purposes only.
