Poultry
Comments:
Poultry is one of the best meats for a healthy lifestyle and we cannot think of a better way to make chicken tasty that to "dress 'em up" with some great spices. Great for the holidays.
Use this recipe for 1 whole chicken, halved, quartered or whole:
1/3 cup water
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup dry, light sherry
3 cloves garlic - minced
2 Tbs olive oil - light
2 Tbs brown sugar
1 Tbs ground black pepper
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp hot sauce
1/2 tsp five-spice powder
Combines all ingredients in stainless steel pot.
Rub chicken down with mixture being sure to work up under all the skin that you can reach. This allows the flavor to go beyond the skin. Marinate in a plastic bag for 4-8 hours before placing on the grill. Cook at 350 degrees F. breast/skin side up until done. Place chicken on the pit on the side away from the fire (indirect cooking). "Done" is when a meat thermometer, inserted into the deepest part reaches 160 degrees or when the juices run clear. An additional test of doneness is when the drumstick turns easily.
Remove from the grill and allow to 'rest' for 10 minutes before serving.
Can be used on turkey as well.
