Asian Marinaded Chicken

[Gonna Smoke]

Wanted something different than typical BBQ chicken and we really like Asian flavors, so I went searching. Came up with this marinade from the interweb...

• 4 Tbsp olive oil
• 2 Tbsp sesame oil
• 8 Tbsp low sodium soy sauce
• 2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 4 Tbsp lemon juice
• 10 Tbsp maple syrup
• 10 cloves garlic minced
• 1 tsp cracked black pepper
• 4 tsp kosher salt

Mixed all these ingredients together and placed in a bag along with 10 lbs. of leg quarters and 4 thighs to marinate for 24 hours flipping the bag whenever I could remember to.

The next day I drained the chicken reserving the marinade which was put in a pot on the stove to simmer...

Cooked over oak and basted with the reserved marinade...

While that was going, I cut some gold potatoes into wedges for crispy Greek potatoes. These were coated in Greek marinade I've used before...

• 3 garlic cloves
• 3/4 of a cup olive oil
• equal amount of water (if not parboiled)
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• the juice from 2 lemons
• 1 or 2 tsps of AP flour

The potato wedges and marinade are placed in a roasting pan uncovered and into a 400℉ oven for 40-45 minutes. After that time, toss the potatoes trying to get them flipped over. Back in the oven for another 30-40 minutes until crispy and browned...

I cut up some fresh carrots and partially cooked them in a little water and then added in a stick of butter and a 2 lb. bag of frozen sweet peas. Cooked until peas were just hot and the carrots were done. Seasoned with a little salt.

Meanwhile, the chicken is getting close...

Finally all is done...

Served with some toasted bread my wife fixed. Give thanks...

Time to eat...

This was a really good Asian type flavor and something different than typical grilled chicken...

We do as much as we can with the grands every day and wouldn't change a thing. I have St. Louis ribs on the smoker now for tonight and they'll all be here.

Something different is what lead me to this. BBQ chicken is good, but sometimes I just want something different....

Looks good. And great pics of the feast
I do a vaguely similar marinade for CSRs.
Equal parts Soy Sauce, Vinegar, and water. Then add garlic, onion, lemon.
Your maple syrup is an interesting twist. Pork likes sweetness … hmmm …

Looks good Charles !

 

[pineywoods]

That all looks and sounds very good Charles

 

[JLinza]

Looks darn good. Great pics with the family

 

[Chris_in_SoCal]

That looks great. I just got back from the grocery store and instead of chicken I got a 3 pack of beef, chicken and pork chopped. Now I am thinking I made the wrong choice.

 

[BrianGSDTexoma]

That same mighty fine food Charles! Love Asian flavors. I been trying to find some banana ketchup for that other dish you made.

 

[Steve H]

Excellent work Charles! The pic with the kids is beautiful!
