Asian BBQ Chicken


















I got this recipe from Our Best Bites.  She has some really great recipes.
Asian BBQ Chicken
  • 1/4 C packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 C soy sauce
  • 2 T lime juice (about 1 lime)
  • 1/4 t cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 t curry powder
  • 3-4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 t grated fresh ginger
  • 6-8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
Combine everything but the chicken in a small bowl. Whisk to dissolve brown sugar. Reserve a couple of spoonfuls of the marinade in a small bowl and place the rest, with the chicken, in a zip-lock bag. (If your chicken pieces are extra large and you feel like you need a little more marinade, you can always add a bit of water to stretch it.) Pop that bag in the fridge for a minimum of 4 hours, but overnight is best.
Preheat a grill (or an indoor grill pan or broiler). Spray cooking surface with cooking spray and place chicken on it to cook. Cook for 5-10 minutes on each side depending on the thickness.   I ended up putting this in the oven after I grilled it in the grill pan because it was beginning to burn and was not done inside.  Just pop it in the oven covered with foil at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes.

I served this with fried rice and a small salad with an Asian flavored salad dressing.  Of course Hillbilly didn’t like it because it has Asian flavors.  It can’t always be about him, I have to eat too and I liked it.
