Sticky Ginger Honey Chicken Skewers With Noodle Salad Recipes

STICKY HONEY-CHILI GARLIC GRILLED CHICKEN WITH CUCUMBER SALAD

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, combine the chili garlic sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sugar, soy sauce and garlic. Bring to a low simmer over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low and cook about 10 minutes. Spoon 1/4 cup of the mixture into a small bowl, whisk in the cornstarch until combined and then whisk back into the saucepan. Let simmer an additional 10 minutes to thicken. Let cool completely.
• Salt and pepper both sides of the chicken and place in a 9-by-13-inch pan. Pour half of the chili garlic mixture over the chicken and toss to coat; reserve the remaining sauce. Cover with aluminum foil and refrigerate for 4 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Bake the chicken, covered in foil, for 35 to 45 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat the grill to medium high.
• Remove the chicken from the oven and grill, basting with the reserved sauce, until the skin is crispy, a few minutes per side. (Alternatively, the chicken can be finished under the broiler. Remove the foil from the pan and put under the broiler for a few minutes until the skin is crispy.)
• Transfer the chicken to a serving platter, spoon the remaining reserved sauce over the top and garnish with cilantro. Serve with the Cucumber Salad.
• In a medium bowl, whisk the vinegar and honey until emulsified. Add the cucumbers and cilantro and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until serving time.

STICKY GINGER & HONEY CHICKEN SKEWERS WITH NOODLE SALAD

Steps:

• Put the chicken in a bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the garlic, ginger, sesame oil, honey, soy sauce and lime juice. Add a third of this to the chicken and save the rest for the noodles. Mix everything together and chill overnight or for a few hours.
• Bring a saucepan of water to a simmer. Add the mangetout and cook for 1 min, then drain and rinse under cold water. Toss the cooked noodles with the mangetout, carrot, remaining marinade, coriander and sesame seeds.
• Heat the grill to medium. Thread the chicken onto three or four long skewers, put on a flat baking tray and grill for 12 mins, turning the skewers halfway, until cooked. Serve the skewers on top of a platter of the noodles with extra lime wedges for squeezing over.

STICKY GARLIC CHICKEN SKEWERS

Steps:

• Soak 12 bamboo skewers, each 10 inches long, in water for at least 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mix together the garlic, honey, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, mustard and hot pepper sauce, and season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
• Toss in the chicken and stir until well combined, transfer to a nonmetallic dish, cover and marinate for 20 or 30 minutes or overnight.
• Prepare the outdoor grill or preheat the broiler to high.
• Thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers.
• Cook over the hot coals of an outdoor grill for 5 to 6 minutes or arrange on a foil-lined baking sheet and broil for 6 to 7 minutes, turning occasionally until well browned and cooked through.
