HOISIN-BBQ-GLAZED CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat.
• Sprinkle the chicken thighs generously with salt and pepper. Lightly oil the grill grates. Grill the chicken until grill marks appear and an internal temperature of 170 degrees F, about 15 minutes per side.
• While the chicken cooks, make the sauce: Heat the vegetable oil in a small saucepan over high heat. Add the ginger and garlic and cook until soft, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the ketchup, hoisin, sherry, sesame oil, soy sauce and chili garlic sauce. Whisk until smooth and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and let cool.
• Brush the chicken thighs with about 1/2 cup of the sauce several times in the last 5 minutes of cooking time. Serve the chicken with the extra sauce and with cooked broccoli and white rice.

Steps:

• Combine raspberries, hoisin sauce, 3 tablespoons rice vinegar, garlic, orange zest, ginger, pepper, and crushed red pepper in a blender or food processor. Blend or process until smooth, about 1 minute. Set aside 1/4 cup for a dipping sauce.
• Transfer the remaining marinade to a medium bowl and add chicken; stir to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to 24 hours.
• Combine water and rice in a medium saucepan and bring to a bowl. Cover and reduce heat to a simmer and cook until most of the liquid has been absorbed 40 to 50 minutes. Remove from the heat and let stand, covered, until ready to serve.
• Preheat grill to medium-high or preheat the broiler to high.
• Meanwhile, remove the chicken from the marinade, scrape off excess(discard marinade), and thread onto 4 skewers, distributing equally.
• Grill the chicken until browned and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. If using the broiler, place the chicken on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray and broil 4 inches from the heat source until cooked through, about 5 minutes per side.
• Just before serving, sprinkle the rice with the remaining 2 tablespoons vinegar and 1/4 cup scallions,fluff with a fork. Sprinkle the chicken and rice with the remaining scallions. Serve with the reserved dipping sauce.

• Next day, remove chicken and discard marinade.
• Heat an outdoor grill or preheat the broiler.
• Spray the grill with nonstick cooking spray.
• Season the chicken with the salt and grill or broil it.
• Turn once, until brown and the juices run clear when pricked with a fork at the joint, about 15 minutes depending on how big your pieces are.
