Asian grilled chicken thighs basted with a sweet, sticky sesame sauce, these legs are Mmm.. Mmm.. good! Taking a cue from those master chefs the Podleski sisters, I have compiled a collection of taste sensations starting with this one. And guess what else? It's low fat! (Overnight marinade time is not included in prep time).
Ingredients:
12 pieces skinless chicken thighs
1/2 cup hoisin sauce
1/4 cup honey
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon grated gingerroot
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 clove garlic, minced
Directions:
1. ARRANGE chicken pieces in a shallow glass dish.
2. TOAST sesame seeds by placing them in a small skillet over medium heat and shaking the pan until they turn golden; cool them completely before using.
3. COMBINE all remaining ingredients in a small bowl (reserving about a 1/2 cup) and pour over chicken being sure to coat both sides with marinade; cover with plastic and refrigerate overnight alongside with the reserved 1/2 cup portion.
4. PREPARE grill temperature to medium-hot; remove chicken from marinade and grill for about 10 minutes per side being careful not to burn them; brush frequently with the reserved portion of marinade.
5. SERVE hot over your favorite rice or choice of accompaniment.
