Grilled Chicken Breast With Ginger And Soy Recipes

GINGER SOY GRILLED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Start by combining the sesame oil, lime juice, honey, soy sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, and salt and pepper in a shallow baking dish. Whisk these ingredients together with a fork and set everything aside while you prepare the chicken.
• Add the bone-in, skinless chicken pieces to the baking dish with the marinade, making sure the chicken pieces are well-coated in the marinade. Cover the dish with a lid or some plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours
• This is a dish that you can prepare earlier in the day and leave it to marinate for several hours until it's time to grill.
• When it's time to grill, remove the chicken from the fridge and let it rest at room temperature while you preheat the grill.
• When your grill is ready, turn the heat down to medium-low (if your grill is notoriously hot like mine is, then grill on low to be safe) and place the chicken pieces on the grill.
• Leave them for about 8 minutes, making sure you allow the bottom side to caramelize before turning. Flip them when they've achieved a nice brown colour on the bottom side and let them grill on the other side on medium-low (or low) for another 8 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit (use an instant read meat thermometer).
• Remove them from the grill and let them rest for 2-3 minutes. Garnish with some chopped green onions and serve!

STICKY, SWEET & SPICY GRILLED GINGER CHICKEN

Steps:

• Make the chicken marinade. In a large bowl, whisk together soy sauce, water, oil, honey, brown sugar, lime juice, garlic, ginger and red pepper flakes. Reserve 1/2 cup of marinade and place in a small bowl in the fridge. You'll use this for glazing the chicken on the grill later.
• Marinate the chicken: Pat the drumsticks dry, remove the skin, season them with a pinch of salt, and add them to the large bowl or a shallow dish with the Thai chicken marinade. Mix to coat the chicken evenly, then marinate in the refrigerator for a minimum of 1 hour, or up to 24 hours.
• About a half hour before you're ready to cook the chicken, remove the chicken from the marinade and allow it to come to room temperature. Preheat a grill to 400 degrees F.
• Grill the chicken: brush the hot grill grate with oil. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 8 minutes, then flip. Generously brush each drumstick with the reserved marinade a few times, and grill for an additional 8 minutes. Turn the chicken over one last time, brush again with the remaining marinade, and cook for 5 more minutes or until no pink remains in the center of the chicken.
• To serve: Place the chicken on a platter or large plate, then garnish with honey roasted peanuts, diced green onion and cilantro. Serves 4, 2 drumsticks each.

GRILLED CHICKEN WITH ASIAN SOY GINGER MARINADE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk all marinade ingredients (everything except for the chicken). Pour into a gallon-size resealable plastic bag and add the chicken. Press as much air from the bag as possible and seal.
• Turn the bag a few times to coat all of the chicken in marinade and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 1 day, turning the bag occasionally to ensure the chicken marinates evenly.
• Preheat your gas grill with all burners on high and close the lid. When the grill is hot (after about 15 minutes), turn the 2 burners closest to the front to low, keeping the back burner on high. Remove the chicken from the bag and arrange on the grates over the low heat burners. Cover and cook until the underside of the chicken is just beginning to develop light grill marks, 6 to 9 minutes. Flip the chicken, cover, and continue to cook until the chicken is firm to touch, 6 to 9 minutes longer
• To get a nice char on the chicken, now move the chicken to the part of the grill over high flames and cook uncovered until each side has solid grill marks, 5 to 6 minutes, flipping halfway.
• The chicken should be completely firm to the touch and register 160 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. Transfer the chicken to a plate, tent with foil, and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

GINGER GRILLED CHICKEN SATAY

Steps:

• Slice chicken in half lengthwise to get thin pieces. Prick lightly using a fork or a knife to help tenderize.
• Combine soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, fish sauce, and lime juice in a large bowl, resealable plastic container, or large zip-top bag. Add chicken tenders, making sure marinade fully covers chicken. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate. Remove chicken from marinade and thread onto metal skewers.
• Meanwhile, add marinade to a small saucepan with cornstarch and bring to a boil. Boil until thickened, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn off heat and transfer sauce to a small bowl for dipping.
• Grill skewers on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the centers, about 5 minutes per side. Garnish with scallion and serve with sauce on the side.
