Cooking MethodGrilling
Ingredients
- 4 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into pieces
- 6 tablespoon dark reduced sodium soy sauce
- 1 to 2 cloves garlic, peeled and mashed into a pulp
- 2 teaspoon ginger, finely grated
- 1 tablespoon coriander seeds, finely ground
- 1/4 teaspoon turmeric, ground
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (add more or less according to taste)
- 1 tablespoon honey
Instructions
- Cut each whole chicken breast into two pieces and each breast into four.
- Cut two long, parallel, diagonal slits on each side of the leg pieces. The slits should never start at an edge and should be deep enough to reach the bone; cut similar slits on the meaty side of each breast piece.
- In a large bowl, combine the soy sauce, garlic, ginger, coriander, cayenne, turmeric and honey. Mix until smooth and put the chicken in marinade.
- Rub the marinade into all the pieces, making sure it goes deep into the slits.
- Set aside for 1-2 hours, turning the pieces now and then.
- Preheat the grill (broiler) to a medium high temperature (450 degrees F) and arrange the chicken pieces skin side down, in a single layer on a grilling tray.
- Cook for 12-15 minutes or until nicely browned, basting once with the juices.
- Turn the pieces over and cook the second side for a similar length of time, basting once or twice with the juices. The chicken should be well browned before serving.
