Teriyaki Rotisserie Chicken Recipes

CHICKEN TERIYAKI

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, combine all ingredients except cornstarch and chicken. Bring to boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low and stir until sugar is dissolved, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool. Discard cinnamon stick and mix in 1/2 cup water.
• Place chicken in a heavy-duty sealable plastic bag. Add soy sauce mixture, seal bag, and turn to coat chicken. Refrigerate for at least an hour, ideally overnight.
• Remove chicken and set aside. Pour mixture into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to low. Mix cornstarch with 2 tablespoons water and add to pan. Stir until mixture begins to thicken, and gradually stir in enough water (about 1/2 cup) until sauce is the consistency of heavy cream. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Preheat a broiler or grill. Lightly brush chicken pieces on all sides with sauce, and broil or grill about 3 minutes per side. While chicken is cooking, place sauce over high heat and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a bare simmer, adding water a bit at a time to keep mixture at a pourable consistency. To serve, slice chicken into strips, arrange on plates, and drizzle with sauce.

TERIYAKI CHICKEN

Steps:

• Rinse chicken halves, and pat dry with paper towels. Place chicken cut side down in a 9x13 inch baking dish.
• In a medium mixing bowl, combine sugar, soy sauce, grated ginger and garlic. Mix well, and pour mixture over chicken. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bake chicken uncovered in the preheated oven for 1 hour, basting frequently. Test for doneness, making sure there is no pink left in the meat. Let cool slightly, then cut into smaller pieces to serve.

TERIYAKI ROTISSERIE CHICKEN

Steps:

• The night before, or in the morning: Rinse the thawed chicken with cold water and pat it dry with paper towels. (Don't forget to remove the giblets--that's the little bag of stuff inside the body cavity--and rinse the inside, too.) Put the chicken in a large bowl or roasting pan or plastic storage bag and cover it liberally with teriyaki sauce. Seal or cover it tightly, excluding all the air that you can, and put it in the refrigerator until you're ready to start cooking. You might want to turn it about halfway between the time when you put it in the fridge and the time you plan to start cooking. To cook: Truss/tie the chicken according to your rotisserie's instructions. Cook according to your rotisserie's instructions until done. Baste with more teriyaki sauce periodically during the cooking process. Once the chicken reaches a safe temperature (180 degrees), remove it from the rotisserie and let it rest on a serving dish or cutting board until it's cool enough to carve. Serve with steamed veggies and rice.

ORANGE-TERIYAKI INJECTED ROTISSERIE CHICKEN

Steps:

• Mix all marinade ingredients. Using a culinary food injector, inject chicken absolutely everywhere -- including wings and back. Use up as much marinade as possible. The chicken should be overflowing with marinade. Discard any remaining.
• Truss chicken (you could put some orange slices and garlic cloves in the cavity first, if desired). Affix chicken securely to rotisserie spit. Roast about 1 hour or until instant-read thermometer reads 170 to 180 when inserted in thigh. If possible, turn heat off rotisserie and let chicken spin 10 to 15 minutes off the heat. Or remove from spit and let rest, covered, breast side down, 15 minutes before carving.
