How to make?
Ingredients
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons chili garlic, sauce such as Huy Fong
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
2 cloves garlic minced
1 chicken, cut into pieces, or the equivalent in chicken pieces
Thinly sliced scallions, for garnish
Sesame seeds, for garnish
Directions
Whisk together olive oil, chili garlic sauce, honey, rice wine vinegar, and minced garlic. Add chicken to the marinade in a covered container and let it marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
Heat your grill to medium-high heat with two zones for direct and indirect cooking. Use tongs to oil the grill grates using a small folded piece of paper towel dipped in oil.
Arrange the chicken skin-side down over the high-heat section of the grill and cook for about 5 minutes, or until you see dark, seared grilled marks. Flip the chicken and keep over the hot section for another 4 to 5 minutes.
Transfer the chicken to the indirect section of the grill and cook the chicken until it reaches a safe internal temperature of 165 degrees F in the thickest part of the meat, another 10 to 15 minutes.
Exact timing will depend on your type of grill and the temperature, so check the chicken frequently and use your best judgment on when to flip and when the chicken is done.
When the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Then garnish with diced scallions and roasted sesame seeds. Serve while warm.
