Char Siu Chicken Food

CHAR SIU CHICKEN

Steps:

• Whisk brown sugar, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, garlic, sriracha sauce, sherry, food coloring, sesame oil, Chinese five-spice powder, and liquid smoke together in a bowl; pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add chicken thighs, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 24 to 48 hours.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a roasting pan with aluminum foil and place a roasting rack in the bottom of the pan.
• Remove chicken from marinade and place on the rack in the prepared roasting pan.
• Pour marinade into a saucepan; bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Bake chicken in the preheated oven, turning once and basting occasionally with marinade, until the juices run clear, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

GRILLED CHAR SIU CHICKEN

Steps:

• Combine everything except the chicken in a large bowl.
• Add the chicken and mix well to ensure that all the pieces are covered with the sauce.
• Marinate at least 2 hours preferrably overnight.
• Grill until the chicken is cooked through about 20 to 30 minutes.

CHAR SIU BBQ'D CHICKEN

Steps:

• Mix together the sauce by combining the hoisin, brown sugar, Shaoxing wine, five spice powder, pepper, sesame oil, garlic, and red food coloring (if using).
• Season the chicken with salt to taste, and place the chicken on a medium-hot grill, turning once, for 10 minutes per side. Keep an eye on the chicken to make sure it doesn't burn.
• Put about half of the BBQ sauce in a small bowl for serving, and set aside.
• After 20 minutes. Baste the chicken with the remaining sauce and continue to grill until the chicken is cooked through (time will vary depending on the size of the chicken). Transfer the chicken to a serving platter, brush with the reserved sauce, and serve.
