Make Not Your Same Ole' Barbecue Chicken!
It would be great to grill nice thick juicy steaks on the grille all the time for dinner, but here are a couple of reasons that make it not such a "great" idea. First is the cost. Chicken on sale or not is far cheaper than a great steak on sale! Second, steaks would become ordinary and not have that fantastic "MMMM" impact when you find that gorgeous steak, anticipate eating it, bringing it home and throwing it on the grille....So Chicken again is a great choice for grilling in as far as you can prepare it in so many ways as to keep it from becoming "everyday" and "mundane! This next recipe does just that! Delicious flavor, moist and a little "kick" for fun!
Honey Sriracha Orange Grilled Chicken
Ingredients
2 pounds chicken tenderloins or boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded thin
1/4 cup olive oil
2 teaspoons cornstarch
Honey Sriracha Orange Marinade/Glaze
1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
1/2 cup orange marmalade
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons quality hoisin sauce
1 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium)
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons sriracha/Asian hot red chili sauce, more or less to taste
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ginger powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Garnish (optional)
green onions
orange zest
Directions
Whisk the Honey Sriracha Orange Marinade/Glaze ingredients together in a medium bowl. Add 1/3 cup to a large freezer bag and whisk in 1/4 cup olive oil. Add the chicken and marinate 60 minutes up to overnight in the refrigerator. Refrigerate reserved the glaze separately.
When ready to grill, let the chicken sit at room temperature for 15 to 30 minutes (time permitting).
Meanwhile, grease and preheat the grill to medium heat, 375 to 450°F.
Separate 3 tablespoons from reserved glaze into a small bowl. Add the remaining glaze to a small saucepan and whisk with 2 teaspoons cornstarch. Set aside.
Drain the chicken from the marinade and pat dry. Grill the chicken undisturbed for 5 to 6 minutes per side, or until chicken is cooked through, basting with the 3 tablespoons separated glaze. (An inserted thermometer should read 165 degrees F when chicken is done.)
Meanwhile, while the chicken is grilling (or after, if you don't have room on your grill), place the covered saucepan on the grill (this can also be done on the stove), and bring to a simmer. Once simmering, remove lid and whisk until thickened. Once thickened, brush the cooked chicken with glaze. Spoon the extra glaze over the plated chicken or use as a dip.
Garnish the chicken with orange zest and green onions (optional). It's delicious served over rice.
