HARDWORKING COCONUT CHICKEN
INGREDIENTS: 2 bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts (4 pounds total), each cut into 4 pieces
MARINADE:
1 can (14 ounces) coconut
milk
5 tablespoons fresh lime
juice
2 jalapeno peppers,
halved, seeds removed 1 clove garlic
1 chunk (3 inches long) fresh ginger, peeled, sliced into coins 2 teaspoons kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon freshly
ground black pepper
GLAZE:
1/4 cup (lightly packed) fresh cilantro leaves and tender stems 2 tablespoons fresh lime
juice
2 tablespoons dark
brown sugar 2 tablespoons soy sauce
STEPS:
1. Marinate: Settle chicken in a glass pan or zipclose bag. In the blender, swirl smooth all marinade ingredients; pour over chicken, turning pieces to coat. Refrigerate 2 to 24 hours, turning chicken once.
2. Rest: 1 hour before grilling, pull chicken out of marinade. Discard marinade. Let chicken rest at room temperature. Meanwhile, blend all glaze ingredients smooth.
3. Grill: Prepare a medium-hot grill; oil grates. Grill chicken over indirect heat until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees, 12-15 minutes per side.
4. Glaze: Brush chicken all over with glaze. Grill over direct heat, turning and brushing several more times, 1-2 minutes. Enjoy warm.
