Exotic Grilled Chicken

I was in the mood to grill, so I found this grilled chicken recipe.  I probably should have flipped the chicken a little sooner before it got black on one side, but it still tasted great.   The skin was crisp and the meat was nice and juicy and the marinade tasted great.

4-6 servings

Ingredients:

1 whole chicken, cut up (3-4 pounds)

1/4 cup soy sauce

3 tablespoons canola oil

2 tablespoons water

1 tablespoon dried minced onion

1 tablespoon sesame seeds

1&1/2 tablespoons sugar

2 garlic cloves, minced

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Directions:

In a large resealable plastic bag, combine all the marinade ingredients.  Reserve 1/4 cup for basting in a small bowl.  Add chicken to the bag and turn to coat.  Refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.

Drain and discard marinade from bag.  Grill chicken, skin side down, uncovered, over medium heat for 15 minutes on each side (wings will take less; breasts will take longer).  Brush with reserved marinade and cook 5 minutes.  Turn and baste again; grill 5 minutes longer or until chicken is cooked through.
