Grilled or Broiled Chicken - Japanese Style - By: Emely

How to prepare Grilled or Broiled Chicken the special Japanese Style? If you like that slightly sweet, soy-saucy crunch of grilled Japanese food, this recipe is for you. This recipe makes about 4 servings. Time to prepare is 45 minutes, plus time to marinate. Follow the directions very carefully:

GRILLED OR BROILED CHICKEN - JAPANESE STYLE

INGREDIENTS :
¼ cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons sake or dry white wine
2 tablespoons mirin (or 1 tablespoon honey mixed with 1 tablespoon water)
3 scallions, roughly chopped
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1 whole chicken, 3 to 4 pounds, trimmed of excess fat and cut into 8 pieces, or any combination of parts
Neutral oil, like grape seed or corn, for brushing
Lemon wedges for garnish

DIRECTIONS :
1. Mix everything together except the oil and lemon wedges in a large baking dish or heavy plastic bag. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and as long as overnight, turning occasionally. When you’re ready to cook, heat a charcoal or gas grill or the broiler to moderate heat and put the rack about 6 inches from the heat source. If grilling, keep part of the grill cool for indirect cooking.
2. To grill: Start the chicken skin side up on the cool side of the grill, brushing it with some oil. After some of the fat has been rendered, turn the chicken; if it flares up, move it to an even cooler part of the fire or turn it so the skin side is up again. When the skin has lost its raw look and most of the fat has been rendered, after about 20 minutes, it’s safe to move the chicken directly over the fire. Cook until both sides are nicely browned and the flesh is firm and cooked through (to check for doneness, cut into a piece close to the bone; the juices should run clear), 5 to 10 minutes longer.
To broil: Start with the skin side down and broil, making sure the bird does not burn, until it’s nearly done, about 15 minutes, then turn and cook until done, 5 to 10 minutes longer.
3. Serve hot, warm, or at room temperature, with the lemon wedges.

Minor adjustments make a huge difference in flavor: Use nam pla (Thai fish sauce) in place of the soy sauce; omit the sake, scallions, and ginger. Add to the marinade 2 tablespoons chopped lemongrass (the tender core only), 1 tablespoon coriander seeds, and a full teaspoon of ground black pepper. Garnish with lime instead of lemon.

Lots of fun preparing this simple recipe. Bon Apetit.
