Firecracker Chicken Thighs Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • To toast sesame seeds:
  • Place them on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated 350 degree F oven for 7 to 10 minutes or until golden.
  • Chicken Recipe:
  • Score meat on both sides by making shallow diagonal cuts about 1 inch apart.
  • In a large mixing bowl stir together bean paste, soy sauce, sesame seeds, sesame oil, sugar, green onions, garlic, salt, and pepper. Pour into a large plastic bag; add chicken, seal bag, and marinate in the fridge for 4 to 24 hours, turning the bag occasionally.
  • Remove chicken, scraping off excess marinade. Reserve marinade.
  • Place chicken on the grill rack of an uncovered grill. Grill directly over medium coals for 15 minutes.
  • Turn chicken over and grill for 10 to 15 minutes more. Baste both sides with reserved marinade and grill for 5 minutes more, or until chicken is done.

    FINALLY, after threatening to try this dish over a year ago, I finally made it. Absolutely fabulous.

    I had to use red curry paste because I couldn't find hot bean paste at the store, and I only had peanut oil on hand. Since we're buried in snow, I didn't grill the chicken, but baked it instead. I don't know if any of these changes really altered the flavor of the dish, but what came out was a triumph. Thanks, Jen!
