Skinny Spicy Ginger Chicken Recipes

SKINNY SPICY GINGER CHICKEN

Steps:

• Place chicken pieces in a 3 1/2- or 4-quart slow cooker.
• Drain tomatoes, reserving juice from one can. For sauce, in a medium bowl combine tomatoes and the reserved juice, the tapioca, ginger, cilantro, garlic, brown sugar, salt, and crushed red pepper. Pour sauce over chicken.
• Cover and cook on low-heat setting for 6 to 7 hours or on high-heat setting for 3 to 3 1/2 hours. Skim fat from sauce. Serve chicken and sauce with hot cooked couscous in shallow bowls. Sprinkle with parsley.

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.
