I created this BBQ Grilled Chicken with Heavenly Sauce recipe from two of my favorites. I used the grilling method from Haitian Style Grilled Chicken, and the Heavenly Sauce form Daddy Wu’s Chinese Chicken. The two combined to make an amazing summer dish!
Ingredients
- 1/2 chicken cut into serving sized pieces bone in, skin on
- 1 recipe Heavenly Sauce
- 2-3 sprigs freshly chopped parsley for garnish
Marinade
- 1 tbsp dry sherry
- 2 tbsp hoisin or oyster sauce (Asian section of grocery store)
- 1 tbsp light soy sauce
- 1 tsp grated garlic
- 1 tsp grated ginger
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients before starting the recipe.
Marinating Chicken
- Combine 1/2 chicken cut into serving sized pieces, 1 tbsp dry sherry, 2 tbsp hoisin or oyster sauce (Asian section of grocery store), 1 tbsp light soy sauce, 1 tsp grated garlic, 1 tsp grated gingerin a plastic bag, seal and message the marinade into the chicken to cover all surfaces. Set aside for two hours to marinate before grilling.
Grilling
- Clean and oil the bbq grates using a pair of tongs and a folded sheet of paper towel generously drizzled with olive oil.
- Pre heat grill to 500°F
- Remove the chicken pieces from the marinade to a paper towel lined plate and pat dry.
- When the grill has reached 500°F, place chicken pieces, skin side down and grill for 6-8 minutes with the grill cover closed. Do not turn the chicken before the time is up.
- After 6-8 minutes, turn the chicken pieces and grill for 8-10 minutes longer with the grill cover closed.
- Turn the chicken to skin side down and check for internal temperature, 165F. If the pieces of chicken are small enough, the chicken should be cooked in 15-20 minutes.
Serving
- Spoon a generous portion of Heavenly Sauce on each serving dish, top with grilled chicken and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
