Ingredients

4 servings

3-4 chicken thighs
3-4 chicken legs
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons rice vinegar ({or white vinegar})
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 tablespoon ginger (grated)
3 garlic (minced)
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1 tablespoon olive oil

Method

1
Place the chicken in a large zip lock bag.
2
In a small mixing bowl, combine the remaining ingredients and stir well. Reserve ½ cup of the marinade in a separate bowl for basting the meat.
3
Pour the remaining marinade over the chicken and shake to coat. Seal the bag, then place in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 3 hours or overnight. Turn the grill on medium heat. Allow to preheat for 5 minutes.
4
Use olive oil to rub on the grill so the chicken doesn't stick to the grill. Place the chicken on the grill and cover. Allow the meat to get some nice grill marks, then turn them over. Cook for 25 to 35 minutes, turning every 5 minutes. Baste the chicken with the sauce each time you turn.
5
Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness. Test the thickest part of the meat. Chicken is cooked when it reaches 165° to 175° internal temperature. Serve immediately with coconut rice and pineapple.

Notes

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. You can freeze cooked, cooled meat for up to 3 months.
