SIMPLE ASIAN MARINADE FOR CHICKEN

ASIAN MARINADE

Steps:

• Whisk ingredients together in a small bowl. Place meat, poultry, fish, or vegetables in zipper lock bag or in shallow, nonreactive pan. Pour marinade over contents and seal or cover. Turn zipper lock bag or stir contents of pan occasionally to evenly distribute marinade.
• Prepare 1/2 cup marinade per pound of meat. See description for suggested use of rosemary.

ASIAN GLAZED CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Whisk the vinegar, honey, soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, chili garlic sauce, garlic, and salt in a bowl until smooth. Pour half the marinade into a large plastic zipper bag; retain the other half of the sauce. Place the chicken thighs into the bag containing marinade, squeeze all the air out of the bag, and seal. Shake a few times to coat chicken; refrigerate for 1 hour, turning bag once or twice.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Pour the other half of the marinade into a saucepan over medium heat, bring to a boil, and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring often, to thicken sauce. Remove the chicken from the bag; discard used marinade. Place chicken thighs into a 9x13-inch baking dish, and brush with 1/3 of the thickened marinade from the saucepan.
• Bake 30 minutes, basting one more time after 10 minutes; an instant-read thermometer inserted into a chicken thigh should read 165 degrees F (75 degrees C). Let stand for 5 or 10 minutes; meanwhile, bring remaining marinade back to a boil for 1 or 2 minutes, and serve chicken with marinade. Sprinkle with green onions.

ASIAN GRILLED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Place the soy sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, orange juice, sweet chili sauce, chili-garlic sauce, garlic, and curry powder in a large plastic zipper bag. Seal and knead the bag with your fingers to mix all the ingredients and dissolve the sugar. Place the chicken thighs into the marinade, squeeze out the air from the bag, zip the bag closed, and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-low heat; lightly oil the grate.
• Remove the chicken from the bag, pour the excess marinade into a small saucepan, and bring to a full boil for about 1 minute to sterilize the marinade.
• Grill the chicken thighs until they are no longer pink in the middle and show grill marks, about 25 minutes, basting them generously with the sterilized marinade as they grill.

MARINATED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Butterfly the chicken breasts using a sharp knife, then lightly pound to an even thickness.
• In a large glass bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, fish sauce, soy sauce, lime juice, canola oil, chile-garlic paste, scallion whites, sesame oil and ginger until combined. Add the chicken and turn to coat in the marinade. Cover and let marinade in the refrigerator for at least 2 or up to 4 hours.
• Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat until hot.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade and transfer to a paper-towel-lined baking sheet. Use paper towels to dab off some of the marinade.
• Brush the grill with canola oil, then grill the chicken until fully cooked, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a platter and garnish with the scallion greens and sesame seeds. Serve.
