Recently, in an attempt to keep my waistline in check, I've been reading a lot of Cooking Light magazines. In the most recent issue, I came across a good looking recipe for a Grilled Sriracha Glazed Chicken, but as you know, I have a bit of a handicap when it comes to grilling. So here's my take on the recipe, changed up a bit to suit what I had on hand.
- 4 chicken drumsticks, skin on
- 4 chicken thighs, skin on
- about a tablespoon of olive oil, set aside in a little prep bowl
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2/3 cup pineapple preserves (the original recipe calls for mango jam, but I couldn't find it at Wegman's)
- 2 tbsp Sriracha sauce (you could also use Tabasco sauce- the taste is similar, but it's not nearly as thick, so I would cut it down to 1 tbsp in that case)
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh chives (I think the freeze-dried kind would be okay here too, but not the dry herbs)
- 2 tbsp seasoned rice wine vinegar
- Preheat your oven to 350.
- Prep chicken my arranging on a baking pan, skin side up, and brush with olive oil. Then season with salt and pepper.
- While oven is heating, mix together the sriracha sauce, pineapple preserve, chives, and rice wine vinegar. Split into 2 bowls and set one aside to use when the chicken is cooked.
- Brush chicken with a liberal amount of the sauce.
- Bake chicken at 350 for 45-60 minutes or until cooked through, brushing with additional sauce about every 15-20 minutes or so.
- Serve with spinach sauteed with minced garlic and olive oil and warm garlic loaf or other good bread.
Yummy! I love Sriracha, so good, anything spicy and I am there!
