Grilled Spicy Honey Chicken Food

SPICY HONEY CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat grill to medium-high heat, around 400 to 450 degrees F. Make sure the grill grates are clean.
• Trim excess fat from the chicken, if needed, then pat dry. Drizzle with the olive oil, rubbing it to coat the chicken on both sides.
• In a small bowl or jar, combine all of the spice rub ingredients, stirring to combine. Sprinkle the rub evenly over the chicken pieces on both the front and back sides, rubbing it in with your hands so it is evenly distributed.
• Heat the honey in a small microwave-safe bowl in the microwave for 15 seconds until very runny. Add the vinegar and stir to combine. Set aside 2-3 tablespoons of the honey-vinegar mixture for drizzling over the chicken at the end.
• Grill boneless chicken thighs for 3-5 minutes per side, anywhere from 6 to 10 minutes total, depending on their size, until they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F when tested with a digital meat thermometer. Bone-in chicken thighs will take a little longer to cook - more like 10-14 minutes total with about 5-7 minutes per side. In the last minute or two of grilling, brush the chicken on both sides with the honey-vinegar glaze. Watch the chicken carefully at this point because the honey will smoke and flare-ups can happen because of the sugar in the glaze.
• Remove from the heat and drizzle with the reserved honey-vinegar glaze, then let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

STICKY HONEY-CHILI GARLIC GRILLED CHICKEN WITH CUCUMBER SALAD

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, combine the chili garlic sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sugar, soy sauce and garlic. Bring to a low simmer over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low and cook about 10 minutes. Spoon 1/4 cup of the mixture into a small bowl, whisk in the cornstarch until combined and then whisk back into the saucepan. Let simmer an additional 10 minutes to thicken. Let cool completely.
• Salt and pepper both sides of the chicken and place in a 9-by-13-inch pan. Pour half of the chili garlic mixture over the chicken and toss to coat; reserve the remaining sauce. Cover with aluminum foil and refrigerate for 4 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Bake the chicken, covered in foil, for 35 to 45 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat the grill to medium high.
• Remove the chicken from the oven and grill, basting with the reserved sauce, until the skin is crispy, a few minutes per side. (Alternatively, the chicken can be finished under the broiler. Remove the foil from the pan and put under the broiler for a few minutes until the skin is crispy.)
• Transfer the chicken to a serving platter, spoon the remaining reserved sauce over the top and garnish with cilantro. Serve with the Cucumber Salad.
• In a medium bowl, whisk the vinegar and honey until emulsified. Add the cucumbers and cilantro and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until serving time.

• Grill thighs for about 5-10 minutes on each side or until they're just cooked through.

• Flip the chicken, brush with the glaze and grill for 1 to 2 minutes. Move the chicken to the cool side of the grill bone-side down and apply the remaining glaze. Close the lid, open the vents halfway if using a charcoal grill and continue to cook until the chicken registers 160 degrees F in the thickest part, 15 to 20 minutes longer. If using the oven, place the chicken bone-side down on a baking sheet and roast, brushing with the glaze occasionally, until the chicken registers 160 degrees F in the thickest part, 25 to 30 minutes.
• For the spinach salad: In a medium bowl, mix together the spinach, chickpeas and onions in a large bowl; set aside.
• Put a heavy-bottomed skillet on the hot side of the grill, add the bacon and cook until crisp.
• Add the vinegar, mustard, and honey to an almost-empty ketchup container and shake vigorously (or whisk together the vinegar, mustard, honey and ketchup in a small bowl). Remove the skillet from the heat and mix in the ketchup mixture to make a warm dressing.

• 4. Pour 1 inch or more of water into a skillet or wok and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Place the bok choy in a bamboo or collapsible steamer. Sprinkle the bok choy with salt and pepper.
