Grilled Ginger Chicken With Apricot Chutney Recipes

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 GINGER CHICKEN WITH APRICOT CHUTNEY RECIPE

Steps:

• In a large ziplock freezer bag, combine the oil, garlic, ginger, cumin, coriander, salt and cayenne pepper. Seal the bag and use your hands to swish the mixture and combine. Add the chicken, then press the air out of the bag and seal tightly. Massage the marinade into the breasts until evenly coated; place the bag in a bowl (in case of leakage) in the refrigerator for at least 5 hours or overnight.
• Clean the grill and preheat to high heat. Lightly dip a wad of paper towels in vegetable oil and, using tongs, carefully rub over grates several times until glossy and coated. Place chicken on the grill and cook, covered, for 2-3 minutes per side. Be careful not to overcook.
• Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and translucent, about 6 minutes. Add the ginger and garlic and cook a minute more. Add the apricots, red bell peppers, cayenne pepper, honey, apple cider vinegar and water and bring to a boil. Turn the heat down to low and simmer until the apricots are tender and most of the liquid is gone, 45 minutes - 1 hour. The mixture should look "jammy." If the chutney looks dry before it's done, add a few tablespoons more water and continue cooking. Season with salt and more cayenne pepper if desired. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Serve at room temperature.

GRILLED CHICKEN WITH APPLE-MANGO CHUTNEY

Steps:

• For the chicken: In a medium bowl, combine the yogurt, apple juice concentrate, vinegar, garam marsala, salt and pepper. Whisk until combined. Add the chicken and toss to coat. Cover the dish and refrigerate for 4 hours and up to 1 day. (You can also put all the ingredients in a resealable plastic bag.)
• For the chutney: Stir the vinegar, preserves, chile pepper, salt, pepper, dry mustard, cloves and ginger in a medium bowl until the mustard dissolves and the chutney base is blended. Mix in the apples, mango and mint. Let stand up to 30 minutes before serving.
• Coat grill rack with nonstick spray and prepare the barbecue for direct grilling over medium-high heat. Place the chicken breasts (still coated with yogurt) on the grill. Cover and grill, about 5 minutes. Flip the chicken over. Cover and grill until the chicken is cooked through and feels firm to touch, about 4 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board. Let rest 5 minutes.
• Place the chicken on a serving platter, and then spoon some chutney alongside the chicken. Garnish with mint sprigs.

GINGER-GRILLED CHICKEN AND RADISHES WITH MISO-SCALLION DRESSING

Steps:

• Season chicken on all sides with 2 1/2 tsp. salt and place in a large bowl. Add ginger beer, garlic, 3/4 cup vinegar, and 3 Tbsp. ginger to bowl and toss to combine. Cover and chill at least 2 hours and up to 24 hours.
• Meanwhile, whisk miso, 3/4 cup oil, 1 tsp. salt, and remaining 6 Tbsp. vinegar and 1 tsp. ginger in a small bowl. Mix in scallions. Let dressing sit at room temperature up to 1 hour, or chill up to 24 hours.
• Prepare a grill for high heat; brush grate lightly with oil. Grill chicken, turning occasionally, until lightly charred and an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of thigh registers 165°F, 12-15 minutes. Transfer to a platter and tent with foil to keep warm.
• Toss radishes with remaining 1 Tbsp. oil in a medium bowl; season lightly with salt and pepper. Grill, turning occasionally, until charred in spots, 8-10 minutes. Transfer to platter with chicken.
