Brainstorm Chicken


Submitted by: Nature Boy 

A chicken piece recipe that has an Asian twist, but a flavor that all should love. I came up with the idea after a brainstorm. I sat and tried to come up with spices/sauces that would blend in harmony, and create a carnival in your mouth. Please post your opinion...good or bad.

Ingredients:
• 1 Stalk Lemongrass chopped
• 1 Small Onion
•1/2 Cup Soy Sauce
• 2 Tbs Turbinado Sugar
• 2 Tbs Tamarind Concentrate (or any fruit preserves)
• 1 tsp Siracha Chili Sauce (or Hot Sauce of your choice)
• 1 Tbs Sesame Oil
• 1 tsp Cracked Pepper
• 6-8 Chicken thighs (thighs work best, dark meat tastes best)

Preparation Directions:
• Cut excess fat and hanging skin off of thighs. Chop Lemongrass, and chunk onion. Throw all ingredients in blender and blend until a smooth liquid. Place chicken in gallon size Ziploc. Dump marinade over chicken. Zip bag and work marinade into chicken. Try and get it under the skin. Refrigerate 4 to 24 hours.

Cooking Directions:
• Preheat egg to 400 with firebricks, or some kind of ceramic mass. I used Weber grate on bottom, 3 thin firebricks flat, 2 on their sides, with second grate on top. Drip pan on flat firebricks. Cook for 1 hour with skin up. Flip and cook until done. Polder 175, or juice runs clear. We pull of skin before eating. If you eat the skin and want it crispy, cook at 500 for 45 minutes.

Special Instructions:
• Enjoy dinner, and please post results.

Add garlic to marinade as a variation.
• Add cayenne or hot spices to marinade as desired.
