Grilled Orange Chicken
By Carol Kicinski of Simply Gluten Free
Makes 4 servings
Ingredients:
- 6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1/2 cup San-J Orange Sauce
- 1/2 cup honey
- 2 teaspoons sesame seeds
Directions:
Cut chicken into 1 1/2 inch pieces. Combine the San-J Orange Sauce and honey and put half in a medium mixing bowl, reserve the rest for later. Add the chicken pieces to the bowl and toss to combine. Let chicken marinate for
20 minutes at room temperature or for up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
(If marinating in the refrigerator, let come to room temperature for 20 minutes before grilling.) If using wooden skewers, soak 4 in water for 20 minutes.
Preheat the grill to moderately high heat (450°F on a gas grill).
Divide chicken pieces onto 4 skewers allowing the chicken to touch but do not cram the pieces together. Brush grates of grill with oil.
Grill for 4 minutes with the lid to barbecue closed. Turn skewers over and grill another 4 minutes covered. Brush the reserved sauce onto the chicken and cook for another 2 minutes, turning several times, or until the chicken is cooked through but still juicy. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve.
