  • Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 2 teaspoons grated gingerroot or 1/2 teaspoon ginger
  • 2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
  • 3 to 3 1/2 lb. cut-up frying chicken (8 pieces)

Steps

  • 1
    In small bowl, combine all ingredients except chicken pieces; mix well. Place chicken in 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish or large resealable food storage plastic bag. Pour soy sauce mixture over chicken; turn to coat. Cover dish or seal bag. Refrigerate at least 1 hour or up to 8 hours to marinate, turning chicken several times.
  • 2
    Heat gas or charcoal grill. When grill is heated, remove chicken from marinade; reserve marinade. Place chicken on gas grill over medium heat or on charcoal grill 4 to 6 inches from medium coals. Cook 15 to 20 minutes or until chicken is fork-tender and juices run clear, turning and brushing several times with reserved marinade. Discard any remaining marinade.

  • If you have sesame oil on hand, add 2 teaspoons to the marinade. This dark, fragrant oil imparts authentic Asian flavor.
  • While the chicken is marinating, it must be refrigerated to prevent bacterial growth. Always discard the marinade after use.
  • To bake chicken, place in a sprayed 15x10x1-inch baking pan. Bake at 400°F for 35 to 45 minutes or until chicken is fork-tender and juices run clear, turning and brushing several times with reserved marinade. Discard any remaining marinade.
