Hoisin Barbecued Chicken Food

HOISIN-BBQ-GLAZED CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat.
• Sprinkle the chicken thighs generously with salt and pepper. Lightly oil the grill grates. Grill the chicken until grill marks appear and an internal temperature of 170 degrees F, about 15 minutes per side.
• While the chicken cooks, make the sauce: Heat the vegetable oil in a small saucepan over high heat. Add the ginger and garlic and cook until soft, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the ketchup, hoisin, sherry, sesame oil, soy sauce and chili garlic sauce. Whisk until smooth and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and let cool.
• Brush the chicken thighs with about 1/2 cup of the sauce several times in the last 5 minutes of cooking time. Serve the chicken with the extra sauce and with cooked broccoli and white rice.

HOISIN CHICKEN WITH CUCUMBER SALAD

Steps:

• Prepare the chicken: Preheat a grill to medium on one side. Combine the hoisin sauce, scallions, garlic, ginger, jalapeno, lime zest and juice, vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste in a mini food processor or blender; process until almost smooth. Season the chicken with salt; toss with the hoisin mixture in a large bowl.
• Make the salad: Bring the vinegar, sugar and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt to a boil in a small saucepan, stirring. Remove from the heat; stir in 1/4 cup ice cubes until melted. Toss the cucumber and red onion in a serving bowl with the vinegar mixture; place in the refrigerator.
• Grill the chicken over direct heat until the skin is crisp, 5 minutes per side, basting with extra marinade. Transfer to the cooler side of the grill; cover and grill until cooked through, 10 to 15 more minutes. Serve with the cucumber salad and lime wedges.

BARBECUED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Marinate the chickens in 2/3 of the barbecue sauce for a few hours or overnight in the refrigerator.
• Heat the coals in a charcoal grill. Spread the bottom of the grill with a single layer of hot coals and then add a few more coals 5 minutes before cooking, which will keep the fire going longer. Place the chicken quarters on the grill, skin side down, and cook for about 45 minutes, turning once or twice to cook evenly on both sides. Brush with the marinade as needed. The chicken quarters are done when you insert a knife between a leg and thigh and the juices run clear. Discard any unused marinade.
• Serve with extra barbecue sauce on the side.
• In a large saucepan on low heat, saute the onions and garlic with the vegetable oil for 10 to 15 minutes, until the onions are translucent but not browned. Add the tomato paste, vinegar, honey, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, chili powder, cumin, and red pepper flakes. Simmer uncovered on low heat for 30 minutes. Use immediately or store in the refrigerator.
• Yield: 1 1/2 quarts

CRISPY-SKIN HOISIN BBQ CHICKEN

Steps:

• Combine the soy sauce, lemon juice, scallions, garlic, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a resealable plastic bag. Add the chicken pieces; seal and toss well to coat. Place in the refrigerator and marinate overnight.
• Prepare a grill for indirect-heat cooking or preheat a grill pan over medium heat. Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F. Combine the brown sugar, ginger, water, and hoisin sauce in a glass bowl as a basting sauce.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade and pat dry. Place on the grill, skin-side down and cook until the skin is well marked, 6 to 8 minutes, keeping a close eye. Turn the chicken and basting constantly, cook the chicken for another 5 minutes. Transfer the chicken, skin-side up, to a baking sheet.
• Generously brush the chicken with the sauce and cook in the hot oven until the skin is crispy and the chicken is cooked through, about 15 to 20 minutes.
• Let rest under a foil tent for 10 minutes, then it's "nom-nom" time.
