Grilled Chicken With Chocolate And Chili Glaze Recipes

SUNNY'S 5-STAR GLAZED CHICKEN

Steps:

• For the marinade/glaze: In a small pot on medium heat, whisk together the honey, miso, orange juice, a shake or two of chili flakes and plenty of coarse ground pepper. Cook, whisking, until everything is combined and the liquid reduces and thickens a bit to a glaze consistency, 6 to 8 minutes. Let cool to room temperature.
• For the chicken: Pour half of the marinade into a resealable plastic bag; reserve the other half for glazing. Add the chicken parts to the bag with the marinade and seal. Rest the chicken at room temperature for 1 to 2 hours.
• When ready to grill, preheat a grill pan or half of a grill to medium heat.
• Remove the chicken from the bag and pat dry with paper towels. Place on the indirect heat of the grill, skin-side down, and cook, covered, until the chicken easily releases from the grill, about 15 minutes. Then flip and grill on the other side until cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes more. In the last minute of grilling, brush each piece of chicken with a bit of the reserved glaze.

SPICED CHICKEN WITH CHOCOLATE PASILLA SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Rinse the chicken and pat dry. In a medium bowl, mix the chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, cinnamon, salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
• Set a cooling or baking rack into a baking sheet. Place the chicken pieces on the rack and drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Rub the spice mixture all over. Rub some of the mixture in between the skin and the breast meat. Transfer to the oven and roast until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast registers 160 degrees F and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Remove the chicken from the oven and cover with some aluminum foil. Let rest for 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a heavy medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onions and saute until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the tomato sauce and chicken broth and cook over medium-high heat until the flavors incorporate, about 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Cool slightly. Transfer the mixture to a blender with the soaked pasilla chiles and puree until smooth. Return to the same saucepan and add the chopped chocolate, stirring over medium heat until fully melted, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper. Transfer the chicken to a serving platter. Top with the chocolate pasilla sauce. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and serve.

CHICKEN WITH CHILLI AND CHOCOLATE RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a pan, add the chicken and fry over a high heat for 3-4 mins until browned. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside.
• Add the onion and red pepper to the pan and fry over a medium heat for 5 mins to soften. Add the garlic, chilli powder, cumin, cinnamon and passata and season with salt and freshly ground pepper.
• Return the chicken to the pan and bring to the boil, stirring. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 mins, stirring occasionally until the chicken is cooked through.
• Add the chocolate and stir until melted. Taste and add a little extra chilli powder, if liked. Serve with rice and garnish with parsley, if using.

GRILLED CHICKEN WITH CHOCOLATE AND CHILI GLAZE

Steps:

• Start by making the injection. Mix the hot water with the sugar, and stir until it dissolves. Then add the lemon juice, and stir a little more.
• Now it's time for the chocolate and chili glaze. Use a microplanar (or other fine grating tool) to grind the chocolate.
• When it is done, grind the chili the same way, but keep them separate.
• Now mix the glaze in a small bowl, by adding the ingredients one by one.
• Fill a marinade injector with the injection fluid, and inject the chicken breasts, roughly 4-5 times per breast. You won't be able to insert a lot of fluid, but every little helps. It adds flavor, and keeps them moist.
• When the food is prepared, fire up your grill, have it running on indirect heat at around 140° C / 280° F. I added a few chunks of apple wood to the fire for a little smoke flavor. Apple wood has become my goto wood for smoking chicken.
• When the chicken breasts have been on the grate for 20-25 minutes it is time to apply the glaze. Lay it on thick, and close the lid.
• Continue cooking until the chicken breasts have an internal temperature of 70° C /158° F. Remove, wrap in aluminum foil and a towel, and let them rest for 20 minutes before serving.

GRILLED CHICKEN WITH CHILLI & SESAME SEEDS

Steps:

• Slice each chicken breast lengthways into 2 thin pieces. Rub with the oil and season on both sides. Heat a grill pan and cook the pieces for 2-3 mins each side.
• While the chicken is cooking, mix the chilli sauce, ginger, honey and vinegar with a little seasoning in a small bowl. Brush over the chicken as it cooks - wait until it is grilled on one side first before brushing, or it will burn.
• Blanch the broccoli, divide between the plates and pour over the remaining sauce. Top with the chicken and sesame seeds.

GRILLED CHICKEN BREASTS WITH ONION GLAZE

Steps:

• Place all but the chicken breasts in a food processor or blender. Process until smooth.
• Place chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag and pour in half the marinade. Freeze remaining marinade.
• Refrigerate chicken for 4 to 6 hours, turning once or twice.
• Remove breasts from the bag, discarding marinade. Grill on medium heat until cooked through.
• The marinade may also be used for wings baked in the oven.

THAI GRILLED CHICKEN WITH HONEY-CHILI GLAZE

Steps:

• Combine the ginger, coconut milk, salt and pepper in a large zip-lock bag. Add lemon grass. Place the chicken thighs in the mixture and refrigerate overnight.
• Make the Honey-Chili Glaze: In a food processor, chop together the jalapeno and brown sugar. Scrape into a small saucepan. Add the venegar, salt, and honey and bring to a boil. Simmer over very low heat for about 2 minutes. Stir in the peanuts.
• Prepare a charcoal grill to medium heat or preheat the broiler.
• Drain the chicken and cook about 8-10 minutes on each side, depending on the size of the thighs and the heat. Grill until chicken is cooked through (careful not to over cook.).
• After chicken is done cooking, place on a platter and pout the Honey-Chili Glaze over the hot chicken. Coat all pieces well, then sprinkle with coconut, cilatro and the scallions. This can be served hot or cold! Enjoy.
