Chinese Barbecued Chicken

---

This is a terrific recipe that i found, and tweaked successfully, in ken hom's quick and easy chinese cooking. The original has double the amount of sesame oil but i feel a little of that goes a long way...double it if you wish. This can be served hot or cold. It's delicious! Prep time does not include 1 hour marinating time.

Steps

---

Cut the chicken into quarters and rub each piece evenly with the salt.

---

Combine the rest of the ingredients in a blender or food processor and puree them.

---

Place the chicken in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over.

---

Squish around good so the marinade is evenly coating the chicken.

---

Set aside to marinate at least 1 hour at room temperature , or refrigerate overnight.

---

Preheat broiler , light a fire in an open gril or turn on your gas grill.

---

When your chosen cooking method is hot , place the chicken on the grill and cook , over indirect heat , for about 45 minutes turning occasionally , or until meat is no longer pink near the joints.

---

This is really good served with steamed jasmine rice and greens or stir-fried pea pods and mushrooms.
