Tasty Grilled Hoisin Chicken Recipes

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.

GRILLED HOISIN CHICKEN WITH MAI FUN

Steps:

• The night before preparing food, mix together marinade ingredients in a small bowl.
• Place chicken in a ziplock bag and add marinade and seal, removing as much air as possible.
• Refrigerate overnight, turning occasionally.
• The next day, well before preparing food, heat oil to a depth of 2-inches at 375-400F in a large skillet or use a deep fryer.
• Add small amounts of mai fun to hot oil and allow them to cook briefly (they will puff like rice cereal and float to the top almost instantly); remove them and drain as soon as they do this and set aside to use later.
• Whisk together ingredients for sauce in a small saucepan and bring to a boil; lower heat and simmer for 3-4 minutes then remove from heat and allow to cool.
• Bring chicken out of refrigeration and allow to warm to room temp- 30-45 min, then drain from marinade, reserving marinade.
• Bring marinade to a boil in a saucepan, lower heat, and simmer for 2-3 minutes, then allow to cool (if it gets too thick, add a little water); use for basting chicken as it cooks.
• Prepare grill, allowing for cooking with indirect heat.
• Grill chicken using an indirect heat method, preferably charcoal, 45 min-75 min, depending on grill temp, or until chicken reaches an internal temp of at least 170F in the thickest part of the breast, basting occasionally.
• As chicken nears doneness, apply sauce mixture to chicken and allow to glaze and cook onto it, then remove chicken from grill.
• Sprinkle chicken with toasted sesame seeds.
• Arrange a bed of puffed mai fun on a serving plate and arrange chicken on top of it; serve at once with other foods as desired.

HOISIN MARINATED GRILLED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Place the hens in a baking dish. Mix the red wine, scallions, ginger, garlic and sesame oil together in a bowl and pour the marinade over the hens. Cover and refrigerate the hens for 1 to 2 days.
• Preheat grill to medium heat. Place the hens on the grill bone side down and grill, covered, about 10 minutes. Gently turn them over and continue grilling for another 10 to 15 minutes or until the juices run clear. Let the hens rest for 5 minutes before serving.
