Jo Mamas Hot And Spicy Grilled Chicken Recipes

JO MAMA'S HOT AND SPICY GRILLED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients except for the chicken and bring to a rolling boil. Remove from the heat and cool. Refrigerate sauce overnight to blend flavors.
• Heat a grill to medium-high heat.
• Apply sauce to chicken (I spoon it on). Grill to desired doneness, applying sauce liberally as you turn chicken. Cook until done through.
• If you don't contaminate the sauce with the raw chicken, you can serve it with the cooked chicken. If it gets contaminated, simmer it on the stove for a few minutes.

GRILLED BOURBON BUFFALO CHICKEN

Steps:

• Mix hot pepper sauce, bourbon (or whiskey or lemon juice) and salt in a 1-gallon zippered freezer bag and shake to mix it up. Rinse chicken if desired and pat completely dry with paper towels. Add chicken to bag and let rest in refrigerator for 20 minutes or up to 24 hours.
• Preheat the grill to the highest setting.
• Remove chicken from marinade, spray each piece lightly with fat-free cooking spray, and place on grill. Grill chicken about 8 to 12 minutes turning chicken halfway through. (You can do this inside using an indoor grill- cooking for about 5 minutes and not turning as it is a two sided grill.).
• Arrange lettuce on plates and top with cucumbers, celery, bell pepper and carrot, leaving center free for chicken.
• To serve, allow chicken to rest 2 to 3 minutes after coming off of grill to allow juices to settle. Cut each piece across the grain into 1/2-inch wide strips then lay equal amounts in center of each salad.
• Sprinkle each salad with equal amounts of onions and croutons. Drizzle with your choice of salad dressing. We like Ranch but Blue Cheese is great as well.

HOT AND SPICY CHAIRMAN'S CHICKEN

Steps:

• Mix together ingredients for marinade and add to chicken; marinate chicken at least 30 min, up to an hour.
• Mix together ingredients for cooking sauce in a small bowl and set aside.
• Heat 1 tbsp sesame oil and 1 tbsp peanut oil, garlic, and red pepper in wok until you just start to smell them; add chicken and cook, stir-frying 3-4 minutes or until cooked through; remove from wok and set aside.
• Add the other 1 tbsp sesame oil and 1 tbsp peanut oil to wok and add snow peas, mushrooms, and bok choy; stir-fry 2-3 minutes or until bok-choy becomes crisp-tender.
• Add green onions, bamboo shoots, baby corn, and bean sprouts to the other veggies and stir-fry another minute or so.
• Add the chicken back to the wok and stir all together.
• Pour reserved cooking sauce over the stir-fry and cook, stirring until mixture is hot and thickened, about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
• Serve with hot steamed rice.
• Just adding a note that the reason I don't use grated ginger in this recipe is because I wanted the dish to have a "subtle" ginger taste, and although I could have use a small amount of grated ginger, I felt that perhaps not as much in the dish would have been flavored by that- so in reference, I would use slices about the size of a large coin or American quarter coin.

SWEET AND SPICY GRILLED CHICKEN WITH GREEN ONIONS

Steps:

• Whisk oil, hot sauce, honey and paprika to blend.
• Mince one green onion, mix into marinade.
• Transfer 2 tablespoons of the marinade into a small bowl to reserve.
• Add chicken to marinade and turn to coat. Let stand 10 minutes, turning occasionally.
• Sprinkle chicken and remaining green onions with salt.
• Grill chicken and whole green onions until chicken is cooked through and onions soften, turning occasionally.
• Transfer to a plate and drizzle with remaining marinade.

HUNAN-STYLE HOT AND SPICY CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix ginger slices, sherry vinegar and 2 tbsp soy sauce. Marinate chicken pieces for 30 minutes in soy sauce marinade.
• Grind Sichuan pepper to powder and add to mixing bowl. Mix in the chicken broth, 2 tbsp soy sauce, wine, sugar, salt and black pepper.
• Heat oil in a wok or heavy frying pan. Add sliced green onion and chili peppers and stir fry for one minute.
• Add soy marinade and chicken to scallions and hot pepper and stir-fry for 2 minutes more.
• Add chicken broth mixture and mix well. Cook over medium-low heat until chicken pieces are fully cooked (8-10 minutes) stirring frequently. Add cornstarch to thicken. Serve with rice.

JO MAMA'S WORLD FAMOUS LASAGNA

Steps:

• Cook lasagna noodles according to package directions, drain and cut to fit pan.
• In small bowl, mix cottage cheese, oregano, salt and 1/4 cup of parmesan cheese.
• Using two deep 9 x 7-inch glass baking pans or one deep 9 x 13-inch casserole dish, make a layer of noodles followed with 1/2 cottage cheese mixture, 1/2 mozzarella cheese and 1/3 sauce.
• Follow with another noodle layer, remaining cottage cheese, mozzarella cheese and 1/3 sauce.
• Top this with a final noodle layer covered with remaining sauce.
• Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup parmesan cheese over top.
• Bake in 350°F oven for 30-40 minutes until casserole is bubbling and slightly browned on top.
• Let cool for 15 minutes before serving so lasagna can firm up for easier slicing and serving.

SPICY GRILLED CHICKEN

Steps:
