Cooking MethodGrilling

Ingredients

  • 4 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into pieces
  • 6 tablespoons dark reduced sodium soy sauce
  • 1 to 2 cloves garlic, peeled and mashed into a pulp
  • 2 teaspoons ginger, finely grated
  • 1 tablespoon coriander seeds, finely ground
  • 1/4 teaspoon turmeric, ground
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (add more or less according to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon honey

Instructions

  1. Cut each whole chicken breast into two pieces and each breast into four.
     
  2. Cut two long, parallel, diagonal slits on each side of the leg pieces. The slits should never start at an edge and should be deep enough to reach the bone; cut similar slits on the meaty side of each breast piece.
     
  3. In a large bowl, combine the soy sauce, garlic, ginger, coriander, cayenne, turmeric and honey. Mix until smooth and put the chicken in marinade.
     
  4. Rub the marinade into all the pieces, making sure it goes deep into the slits.
     
  5. Set aside for 1-2 hours, turning the pieces now and then.
     
  6. Preheat the grill (broiler) to a medium high temperature (450 degrees F) and arrange the chicken pieces skin side down, in a single layer on a grilling tray.
     
  7. Cook for 12-15 minutes or until nicely browned, basting once with the juices.
     
  8. Turn the pieces over and cook the second side for a similar length of time, basting once or twice with the juices. The chicken should be well browned before serving.

@spyderjack 8505533 and Poodle 9981458: Thanks for catching these errors! We have updated the recipe and it should read correctly now. Thanks again! -- Editors of FaveHealthyRecipes

In addition to the comment already posted, the recipe also lists tumeric in the ingredient listing but nowhere in the recipe does it say when or where to add this ingredient. Is the listing of this ingredient a typo or mistake? Proofreading and checking of your recipes seems to be very poor

Think you need to look at your recipe. First it calls for skinless boneless chicken then it talks about chicken legs and bone further on and then it mentions honey but it's not listed in the ingredients!
