Crispy Grilled Chicken is a tantalizing Halal Chinese BBQ dish that features marinated chicken grilled to perfection, offering a smoky flavor and a delightfully crispy skin. This dish is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a weekend gathering, served with a side of fresh vegetables.

Ingredients

• Chicken thighs - 400 grams
• Soy sauce - 60 ml
• Shaoxing wine - 30 ml
• Honey - 20 grams
• Garlic - 4 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 tablespoon, grated
• Five-spice powder - 1 teaspoon
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Black pepper - 1 teaspoon
• Cornstarch - 30 grams
• Vegetable oil - for grilling

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, five-spice powder, sesame oil, and black pepper to create the marinade.
2. Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for best flavor.
3. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.
4. Remove the chicken from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Dust both sides of the chicken with cornstarch to achieve a crispy texture.
5. Place the chicken thighs on the grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F) and the skin is golden and crispy.
6. Remove from the grill and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
7. Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions and a side of steamed vegetables or rice.
