CHINESE BBQ CHICKEN



Chinese BBQ Chicken image

The marinade for this chicken is based on the famous Chinese BBQ Pork (Char Siu), a very popular recipe on my blog! It's sweet, savoury, sticky, laced with Chinese Five Spice. Add your own touch like ginger and chilli for a kick! The red food colouring is optional - it gives the chicken the reddish tinge that Char Siu is known for. Recipe VIDEO below, MARINATING TIME: 3 - 24 hrs.

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 garlic cloves (, minced)
2 tsp brown sugar
1 1/2 tbsp honey
1 1/2 tbsp hoisin sauce
2 tsp oyster sauce
1 ½ tbsp light soy sauce ((or all purpose))
1/2 tsp Chinese five spice powder (Note 1)
1/2 tsp sesame oil ((not critical))
Few drops red food colouring (, optional)
750 g / 1.5lb chicken thigh fillets (, skinless boneless (or breast))
1 tbsp vegetable oil
10 - 12 bamboo skewers (, soaked in water for 1 hour (optional))
Green onions / scallions (, finely sliced, for garnish (optional))

Steps:

  • Place Marinade ingredients in a ziplock bag or bowl and mix to combine.
  • Add chicken and mix to coat. Marinade for 3 - 24 hours.
  • Optional: Cut chicken into bite size or large pieces and thread onto skewers. Use 1 skewer for small pieces, 2 for large, like pictured in post.
  • Heat half the oil in a heavy based skillet over medium high heat, or BBQ on medium (if using grill side, brush oil on bars).
  • Remove chicken from marinade (RESERVE for basting) and place in the skillet - cook in 2 batches, don't crowd the pan. Cook for 4 minutes then turn.
  • Use the Marinade to baste the cooked side of the chicken. After 3 minutes, turn the chicken over so the basted side is now cooking again - cook for 1 minute.
  • Baste the chicken, then turn again and cook for 45 sec - 1 min.
  • Transfer chicken to a plate, cover loosely with foil and rest for 5 minutes.
  • Serve, garnished with green onions / scallions if using!
