Here's a great recipe that's quick and easy, provided you don't mind waiting for the chicken to marinate. </p> <pre> Chicken Pieces (I prefer a bag of legs, myself) 8 oz Shoyu (Soy Sauce) 6 oz Sake 3 cloves Garlic 1 tsp fresh ground Ginger 1 tsp Sesame Oil 1-3 Habanero Peppers Ground Cumin Ground Coriander Onion Powder Wasabi Powder Cut up the Habanero Peppers and place in a bowl. I find that pieces aprox. 5mm per side to work best. Include however many peppers you think you and/or your guests can stand. For extra heat, don't discard the seeds. NOTE: Be very careful when working with Habaneros. I suggest the use of disposable gloves when cutting. Immediately wash your knife and cutting board when done, and do not touch anything while wearing the gloves. Wash your hands like you're a surgeon getting ready for the OR afterwards. Add the Shoyu, Sake, Ginger and Sesame Oil to the bowl. Crush the garlic into the bowl. Mix well. Rinse your chicken. If you don't mind dry chicken and are health concious, remove the skin. Place the chicken into your prepared marinade, cover and refridgerate for 30-60 minutes. Combine the Cumin, Coriander, Onion Powder, and Wasabi Powder in equal parts. Make enough to rub over all your chicken. 2 tsp of each should provide enough for 4-6 drumsticks. After you've preheated your grill, remove the chicken from the marinade, rub on the spices, and grill until your chicken is done. </pre> http://darkstar.frop.org/~zwhite/blog/2006/05/23/basic-soysauce-marinade 2006-05-23T01:37:00Z 2006-05-23T01:37:00Z <p> Welcome to the first entry in my new recipe category.
