Time 13h5m

Yield 4 servings (1 leg quarter or 2 thighs a serving)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup soy sauce
Juice of 1 lemon
2 scallions, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 cloves garlic, minced
Freshly ground pepper
4 chicken quarters or 8 bone-in chicken thighs
2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup hoisin sauce

Steps:

  • Combine the soy sauce, lemon juice, scallions, garlic, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a resealable plastic bag. Add the chicken pieces; seal and toss well to coat. Place in the refrigerator and marinate overnight.
  • Prepare a grill for indirect-heat cooking or preheat a grill pan over medium heat. Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F. Combine the brown sugar, ginger, water, and hoisin sauce in a glass bowl as a basting sauce.
  • Remove the chicken from the marinade and pat dry. Place on the grill, skin-side down and cook until the skin is well marked, 6 to 8 minutes, keeping a close eye. Turn the chicken and basting constantly, cook the chicken for another 5 minutes. Transfer the chicken, skin-side up, to a baking sheet.
  • Generously brush the chicken with the sauce and cook in the hot oven until the skin is crispy and the chicken is cooked through, about 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Let rest under a foil tent for 10 minutes, then it's "nom-nom" time.
