Broiled Ginger Chicken Recipes

BROILED GINGER CHICKEN

Steps:

• Flatten the chicken to 1/4-in. thickness. Place on a broiler pan rack. Broil for 3 minutes on each side. Combine mayonnaise, soy sauce, ginger and cayenne; brush over chicken. Broil 2-3 minutes longer on each side or until juices run clear.

GRILLED GINGER-BEER CHICKEN

Steps:

• Rinse the chicken and pat dry. Toss the ginger with 2 tablespoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Sprinkle half of the mixture on the chicken; reserve the rest. Refrigerate the chicken, uncovered, at least 2 hours.
• Meanwhile, make the sauce: Pour the ginger beer into a wide skillet; cover and bring to a boil. Uncover and cook over high heat until reduced by half, about 30 minutes. Remove from the heat, add the tea bags and steep 10 minutes; discard the tea bags. Add the onion, tomatoes, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar and thyme. Return to high heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until thick, about 50 minutes, using a potato masher to crush the tomatoes during the last 5 minutes. Remove the thyme. Set aside half of the sauce for serving.
• Bring the chicken to room temperature about 30 minutes before grilling. Preheat a grill to medium with indirect heat: On a charcoal grill, bank the coals to one side; on a gas grill, turn off half of the burners.
• Brush the chicken with some of the butter and sprinkle with some of the remaining ground ginger mixture. Place skin-side up on the cooler side of the grill; cover and cook until it starts browning, about 18 minutes, basting with more butter and sprinkling with more ground ginger mixture halfway through. Brush the chicken with a thick layer of sauce. Cover and cook until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 160 degrees F, about 20 minutes, basting with more sauce halfway through.
• Brush the chicken with more butter, then turn skin-side down and place on the hotter side of the grill (over direct heat). Cook, uncovered, until marked, about 2 minutes. Rotate the chicken to make crisscross grill marks and cook 2 more minutes. Transfer to a board and let rest about 10 minutes. Season with salt and serve with the reserved sauce.

GRILLED CHICKEN BREAST WITH GINGER AND SOY

Steps:

• Combine the 1 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons sesame oil, half of the lime juice, ginger, and garlic, and 1/4 cup cilantro in the bottom of each of 2 large freezer bags. Put 2 chicken breasts in each bag and get them coated with the marinade. Then set the bags on a work surface, force the air out and seal them. Allow chicken to marinade for 1 hour. You can also freeze the chicken right in the marinade at this point. To do so fold each bag over the chicken 3 times, tape them well, and date them. Put it in the freezer for up to 2 months.
• Place a large grill pan on 2 burners over medium-high heat, or preheat an outdoor gas or charcoal grill. Fold a few paper towels into a thick square. Blot some oil on the paper towels and then carefully and quickly wipe the ridges of the gill pan or the hot grates of the grill to make a non-stick surface.
• Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade and season with salt and pepper. Lay the chicken on the hot grill and cook 3 to 5 minutes on each side until charred and firm. Serve with the sesame noodles and cucumber pickles.

BROILED CHICKEN WITH GINGER AND LIME

Steps:

• For the marinade: Whisk the soy, lime juice, oil, sugar, ginger, and garlic together in a small bowl. Pack the chicken pieces into a large sealable plastic bag and pour inthe marinade. Close the bag and let the chicken marinate on the counter for 1 hour. (My note--this is counter to common food safety practices, so I would suggest not leaving it out longer than that!).
• Position a rack near the middle of the oven so the chicken will be about 8 inches from the heating element, and heat the broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Arrange the chicken pieces on the baking sheet--skin up and thicker pieces in the middle of the pan--and slide the pan under the broiler.
• Broil for 10 minutes. Turn the pieces over and broil for another 10 minutes, or until done (juices run clear when pierced with a fork).
• Meanwhile, for the dipping sauce: Melt the butter in a small skillet or saucepan over low heat. Add the lime juice and a big pinch of crushed red pepper.
• Roll the chicken pieces in the lime butter. Transfer to a platter and serve.

BROILED YOGURT-GINGER CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Stir together the yogurt, ginger, cumin, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
• Starting on one long side, cut each chicken breast almost in half horizontally, stopping about 1/2 inch before reaching the opposite side. Open each breast like a book.
• Add chicken to marinade and turn to coat. Cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate at least 1 hour or up to 8 hours.
• Preheat broiler. In a small bowl, toss together red onion, cucumber, cilantro, lime juice, remaining 1/4 teaspoon cayenne, and pinch of salt.
• Transfer chicken to a broiler pan. Discard marinade. Broil chicken, rotating pan once, until cooked through, about 10 minutes. Top with cucumber mixture.

BROILED GINGER CHICKEN

Steps:

YOGURT-GINGER MARINATED CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Stir together yogurt, ginger, cumin, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
• Starting on one long side, cut each chicken piece almost in half horizontally (stop about 1/2 inch before reaching opposite side). Open each piece like a book.
• Add chicken to marinade in dish; turn to coat. Cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate at least 1 hour or up to 8 hours.
• Preheat broiler. Toss together red onion, cucumber, cilantro, lime juice, remaining 1/4 teaspoon cayenne (or to taste), and a pinch of salt in a small bowl.
• Transfer chicken to a broiler pan. Discard marinade. Broil chicken, rotating pan once, until cooked through, about 10 minutes. Top with cucumber mixture.

BROILED CHICKEN BREASTS WITH CAYENNE AND GINGER

Steps:

• Place in a small mixing bowl the olive oil, lemon juice, ginger, cumin, turmeric, cayenne pepper, ground coriander and salt. Using a wire whisk, blend well.
• Place the chicken breasts in a shallow baking dish large enough to hold them in one layer. With a pastry brush, coat each piece on both sides with all the marinade. Cover the dish with plastic wrap, and let stand for 10 to 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat the broiler to high. Remove the chicken from the marinade, and broil in a broiling pan 3 to 4 inches from the source for 4 minutes on the first side.
• Turn the chicken over, and broil it for 3 to 4 minutes more or until done. Do not overcook.
• Reduce temperature to 400 degrees. Return the chicken to the baking dish, and add the melted butter to the sauce in the pan. Return to the oven, and bake for 3 minutes.
• Sprinkle with the fresh coriander, and serve.

GINGER-LIME CHICKEN

Steps:

• Pat the chicken dry and season all over with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. In a medium bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, lime zest and ginger; season with salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the mayonnaise mixture and stir to coat. (The chicken can sit in the marinade for up to 8 hours in the fridge. Let come to room temperature before cooking.)
• To grill: Heat a grill to medium-high. Grill the chicken over direct heat until cooked through and juices run clear, about 5 minutes per side for thighs and about 4 minutes per side for breasts, turning as necessary to avoid burning.
• To cook in a skillet: Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Cook the chicken until juices run clear, about 5 minutes per side for thighs and about 4 minutes per side for breasts.
• Serve chicken with lime wedges, for squeezing on top.

BROILED HULI HULI CHICKEN

Steps:

• Season chicken with salt on top of and underneath the skin. Set aside at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a broiler pan with foil.
• Pulse garlic and ginger in a food processor until combined. Add brown sugar, soy sauce, chicken broth, pineapple juice, and rice vinegar; process until well combined. Strain marinade into a bowl, pressing with the back of a spoon to remove all liquid. Discard pulp.
• Blot chicken with paper towels to remove excess salt and moisture. Place skin-side down on the prepared broiler pan.
• Cook under the preheated broiler, turning every 5 minutes, until raw surface have cooked, about 20 minutes. Continue to cook, turning and basting with the marinade every 5 minutes until well browned, another 20 minutes. Cover with foil and cook for 10 more minutes.

BROILED CHICKEN WITH MANGO, GINGER AND CILANTRO

Steps:

• Preheat broiler. Lightly oil broiler pan. Using mallet or rolling pin, pound chicken lightly between sheets of waxed paper to even 1/2-inch thickness. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Place chicken, skin side up, on prepared pan. Broil until skin is golden brown, about 4 minutes. Turn chicken over and broil until cooked through but still juicy, about 3 minutes longer.
• Meanwhile, heat 2 teaspoons oil in heavy small skillet over medium heat. Add ginger and garlic; sauté 2 minutes. Add mango; sauté until heated through and beginning to soften, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Mix in cilantro and vinegar. Season with salt and pepper.
• Place chicken on plates. Top with warm mango mixture and serve.
