Spicy Glaze For Chicken Or Prawns Recipes

SPICY-SWEET GLAZED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Heat a grill or grill pan to high. Clean and lightly oil hot grill. Stir together chili sauce and honey. Assemble kebabs (using 2 long skewers for each, threading 1 skewer through head end of shrimp and 1 through tail end); season with salt and pepper.
• Grill until shrimp begin to turn opaque, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip, brush liberally with glaze, and cook until opaque throughout, 3 to 4 minutes. Brush with more glaze and serve.

SPICY BALSAMIC-GLAZED CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Place wings on the baking sheet and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Using tongs, flip the wings over and sprinkle remaining salt over the top. Bake for 15 minutes more.
• Meanwhile, bring water, vinegar, sweet chili sauce, and Sriracha to a boil in a medium saucepan. Reduce heat and simmer until sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
• Transfer wings to a large bowl and pour sauce over the top. Toss to coat.
• Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and turn broiler on high. Place a wire cooling rack on the baking sheet and arrange wings on top.
• Broil wings for until crispy, about 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped green onion.

SPICY GLAZED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Glaze: Place all ingredients in a bowl and place over boiling water until butter is melted. In a blender of a food processor, blend on high speed until the mixture becomes a smooth paste. Refrigerate overnight before use.
• For the shrimp: Make a small incision in the outside of the backside of the shrimp. Working with the shrimp's natural curvature, poke the tail of the shrimp up through the incision to expose the tail. Pull the tail completely through the whole so that the tail can easily serve as a toothpick.
• To assemble: Heat cooking oil in a large saute pan over high heat - cooking oil should coat the bottom of the pan. Add half the shrimp to the pan to cook. Move them around constantly so they will cook completely and evenly. Once the shrimp are fully cooked, add 2 heaping tablespoons of the glaze to the pan while moving the shrimp. Allow the glaze to evenly coat all the shrimp and lightly caramelize on the shrimp. Remove the shrimp from the pan. Wash the pan and repeat the process with the next 8 shrimp. Once all the shrimp have been cooked and glazed, garnish them individually with a basil leaf by sticking the leaf in through the incision made for the tail. Serve the shrimp warm or at room temperature.

SPICY HONEY GLAZED CHICKEN RECIPE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix together all rub ingredients (garlic powder, chili powder, salt, pepper, cumin, paprika, and cayenne).
• Place chicken on a large platter or pan and drizzle with oil, making sure each piece is evenly coated. Sprinkle rub on top and rub it all over each piece of chicken until chicken is completely coated.
• In a grill pre-heated to medium-high heat or an oven preheated to lo broil (about 400 degrees), cook chicken for 4-5 minutes per side or until chicken is fully cooked.
• In a small bowl, mix together honey and cider vinegar (to help make the honey easier to stir, warm it in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds). Set aside 1/2 of the glaze.
• During the last minute of cooking, brush 1/2 of the glaze on both sides of the chicken. Remove chicken from grill and drizzle the remaining glaze on top, then serve.

SPICY GLAZED CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Pat chicken dry and pound to an even ½-inch thickness with a heavy skillet or meat pounder.
• In a large (12-inch) skillet, combine the oil, almonds and garlic. Season with salt, then set over high heat. Once the mixture starts to sizzle, reduce heat to medium and cook, swirling occasionally, until light golden, 3 to 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and use a slotted spoon to transfer the almonds and garlic to a paper towel-lined plate. (Keep the oil in the skillet.)
• Set the skillet over medium-high. Season the chicken all over with 1 teaspoon salt, then add to the skillet and cook until browned underneath and opaque halfway up the sides, 3 to 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and transfer the chicken to a plate, seared side up.
• With the skillet still over low heat, add the tomato paste and red-pepper flakes and cook, stirring constantly and scraping up browned bits, until the paste is a shade darker and starts to stick to the skillet, 1 to 2 minutes. Return the chicken, as well as any accumulated juices, seared side up to the skillet, cover, and cook until the chicken is cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes. (The moisture from the chicken will keep the tomato paste from burning, but if you're concerned, add a teaspoon of water as a preventative measure.)
• Uncover, add the lemon juice, then flip and drag the chicken through the tomato-lemon glaze to coat all sides. Transfer to plates, spoon over any remaining glaze and sprinkle with the fried almonds and garlic.

SPICY-SWEET GLAZED CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• In a 6-quart kettle heat oil over moderate heat until a deep-fat thermometer registers 375°F.
• While oil is heating, cut off wing tips, reserving them for another use (such as chicken stock), and halve chicken wings at joint. In a saucepan simmer remaining ingredients, stirring, until glaze is slightly thickened, about 3 minutes, and keep warm over very low heat.
• Preheat oven to 200°F.
• Pat chicken wings dry. Working in batches of 8, fry chicken wings in oil until crisp and golden, about 7 minutes. Return oil to 375°F. between batches. With a slotted spoon transfer wings as fried to a rack set in a shallow baking pan and keep warm in oven.
• In a large bowl toss chicken wings with glaze to coat.
