Serving Size: 4
Ingredients:
2 lb chicken breast
halves -- 1k
Salt and pepper
2 tbsp
soy sauce
2 tbsp maple syrup
1 tbsp sesame oil -- or olive oil
1 tsp red wine vinegar
1 tsp garlic -- finely minced
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
Directions:
Sprinkle the breasts
with salt and pepper. Combine the
soy sauce, maple
syrup, oil, vinegar,
garlic and pepper flakes in a
dish large enough to hold the breasts in 1 layer.
Blend well.
Add the chicken breast halves and coat them with the
marinade. Arrange them skin side up in the dish and
cover them with plastic wrap. Let stand 15 minutes,
or until ready to cook.
Meanwhile, preheat broiler or a charcoal grill.
Arrange the breasts skin side down in 1 layer in a
baking dish. Place the chicken under the broiler
about 6" 150mm from the heat. Leave the door partly
open. Cook about 5 minutes and turn the pieces. Cook
skin side up for about 2 minutes. Shift the pan to
the lower rack so that the pieces are about 12"
300mm from the heat. Continue broiling skin side up
with the broiler door partly open about 5 minutes
longer.
Turn the pieces skin side down and broil 5 minutes
longer on the bottom rack. Turn the pieces skin side
up and pour the remaining marinade over all. Place
the chicken about 6" from the heat and broil about 2
minutes. (If you
barbecue, cook the chicken on the hot grill,
covered. The cooking time is the same.)
