Categories     appetizer

Time 9h35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup honey, preferably wildflower or mesquite
1/4 cup lime juice plus 1 tablespoon grated lime zest, plus more zest, for garnish
1/4 cup tamari or soy sauce
3 tablespoons sesame oil
2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 scallions, thinly sliced (about 3 tablespoons)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
16 chicken wings (about 4 pounds), tips removed, drumettes and flats separated

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey, lime juice and zest, tamari, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, scallions, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Reserve 3/4 cup of the marinade for later use. Pour the remaining marinade into a 2-gallon ziptop bag. Add the chicken and seal the bag, pressing out as much air as possible; massage to distribute the marinade. Marinate, refrigerated, for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
  • Remove the chicken wings from the refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Put the wings skin-side down on the baking sheet and spoon the marinade from the bag over the wings. Cook for 20 minutes, then flip the wings, baste with the pan drippings, rotate the pan and cook until the honey has caramelized and the skin is a dark amber, an additional 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Pour the reserved 3/4 cup marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook until the liquid is thick and syrupy and turns into a glaze, about 4 minutes. Coat the wings with the thickened marinade. Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with lime zest.

GINGER-LIME CHICKEN



Ginger-Lime Chicken image

Though this may look like regular old chicken, don't be fooled: It's buzzing with the bright flavors of ginger and lime. Mayonnaise is the secret ingredient in this recipe, which is a trick J. Kenji López-Alt has written about. When slathered on boneless chicken and cooked, the beloved condiment carries flavor, sticks to the meat well, encourages browning and prevents the pieces of lime zest and ginger - or whatever seasonings you choose - from burning. Try this technique first with ginger and lime zest, then experiment with grated garlic, jalapeño, lemon, Parmesan and whatever else you can imagine. Serve with a pile of white rice and a fresh green salad topped with thinly sliced avocado.

Categories     dinner, weekday, poultry, main course

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/2 to 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
Kosher salt and black pepper
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon lime zest (from about 2 limes), plus lime wedges, for serving
1 tablespoon finely grated fresh ginger (from a 3-inch piece of peeled ginger)

Steps:

  • Pat the chicken dry and season all over with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. In a medium bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, lime zest and ginger; season with salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the mayonnaise mixture and stir to coat. (The chicken can sit in the marinade for up to 8 hours in the fridge. Let come to room temperature before cooking.)
  • To grill: Heat a grill to medium-high. Grill the chicken over direct heat until cooked through and juices run clear, about 5 minutes per side for thighs and about 4 minutes per side for breasts, turning as necessary to avoid burning.
  • To cook in a skillet: Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Cook the chicken until juices run clear, about 5 minutes per side for thighs and about 4 minutes per side for breasts.
  • Serve chicken with lime wedges, for squeezing on top.

Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 ½ pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into 1 inch cubes
2 limes, zested and juiced
2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger root
1 ¾ cups coconut milk
½ teaspoon white sugar
1 cup jasmine rice

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling around while you're cooking.
  • Use Fresh Ginger: Fresh ginger has a much more intense flavor than ground ginger. If you can, use fresh ginger whenever possible.
  • Don't Overcook the Chicken: Chicken is a delicate protein that can easily become dry and overcooked. Cook the chicken over medium heat until it is just cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.
  • Use a Good Quality Honey: The honey you use will have a big impact on the flavor of the dish. Use a good quality honey that has a rich, robust flavor.
  • Serve with Rice or Noodles: Honey ginger chicken is a great dish to serve with rice or noodles. The sauce is flavorful and will go well with either one.
