Asian BBQ Chicken on Plate

Asian BBQ Chicken

A combo of sweet and savory, this chicken compliments any Asian or Island inspired meal.

Ingredients

  • 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
  • 8 boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • Optional: sliced green onions for garnish

Instructions

  • Combine everything but the chicken in a small bowl. Whisk to dissolve brown sugar. Place marinade and chicken in a zip-lock bag. Pop that bag in the fridge for a minimum of 4 hours, or longer if you have it (even overnight).
  • 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.  Optional:  garnish with sliced green onions.

Notes

When I make this I usually make 1 1/2 times the marinade.  I reserve some of the marinade before adding the chicken and then use it in the last few minutes of grilling, or just brush it on after for extra flavor.
