Asian BBQ Chicken

Last week it was in the 40's here and this week it is close to 80. I am in heaven! (Except for the fact that I spend 90% of my day inside working...) Anyway, It was wonderful to be able to grill out, sit on the porch for dinner and even talk a walk with the kids. We were all excited about this Asian BBQ Chicken which I dreamed up. For some reason I have been dying to make something that combined siracha and honey and this was it!

Take some time to sit outside and enjoy the fresh fall breezes while enjoying Asian BBQ Chicken.

Here's What You Need:

1/4 cup of honey (plus more to taste)
1/8 cup sesame oil
1/8 siracha
1/4 cup low sodium soy
1/8 cup organic ketchup
1tsp minced garlic
1.5-2.0 lbs chicken (I used thighs)
Extra virgin olive oil
Salt + pepper

Here's What You Do:
Preheat the grill to medium. Whisk all of the ingredients through garlic to make the sauce. Add more honey or siracha based on your preference for sweet or spicy. Brush the chicken with the oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill, turning frequently for about 15 minutes. Start brushing the chicken with the glaze and continue to, adding more sauce as needed for about 5 minutes, turning the chicken often. Grab a big stack of napkins and enjoy!

Kid Tip:
My three year old was literally fighting my husband for the last piece of chicken so that was a good sign that this is kid friendly! I gave the chicken to him whole to eat with  his hands (more fun that way). However, for my 18 month old, I cut the chicken into little pieces. He pretty much throws everything back at me. One of these days that boy will eat!!!
