Ingredients
- 2 ½ lbs chicken pieces, legs and thighs
For the marinade:
- ½ cup soy sauce
- ½ cup balsamic vinegar
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1 large rosemary sprig
For the Glaze:
- 1 cup Thai sweet red chili sauce
- 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
- ¼ cup fresh squeezed orange juice
- 1 pinch of orange zest, grated (about 1/4 teaspoon)
Instructions
For the Marinade:
- Combine all marinade ingredients in a bowl. Mix together and taste and adjust flavors to your preference. Place marinade in a large gallon size bag. Add the chicken and seal the bag. Place in refrigerator for a minimum of one hour and up to four hours.
For the Glaze:
- Combine all ingredients in a medium size bowl. Mix together. Taste and adjust to your preference.
To Make the Chicken:
- Preheat grill for two-zone grilling and target 400 - 450 degrees F. Remove chicken from marinade and discard marinade.
- Place chicken on grill over direct heat and watch closely to avoid flare ups, rotate and flip frequently to get the crusty exterior and avoid burning.
- Place chicken on the indirect side of the grill and cover for up to 15 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken is 155 degrees.
- When temperature is 155 degrees brush your glaze over the chicken on all sides and place back on indirect side of grill and cover.
- Remove chicken when the internal temperature is 160 degrees. Re-glaze once more, and cover loosely with foil for about 10 minutes and then serve.
- Serve with rice and roasted vegetables.
