How to Make Barbecued Raspberry Hoisin Chicken
- Combine 1 cup raspberries, 1/2 cup hoisin sauce, 3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar, 2 cloves garlic (minced), zest of 1 orange (orange part only), 1 tablespoon grated ginger, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes in a blender or food processor.
- Blend until completely smooth (about 1 minute).
- Set aside 1/4 cup of the marinade for dipping sauce.
- Transfer the remaining marinade to a medium bowl. Add 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs (cut into 1-inch pieces).
- Stir to ensure the chicken is thoroughly coated in the marinade.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 24 hours for maximum flavor.
- While the chicken marinates, prepare the rice: In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup uncooked long-grain rice and 1 3/4 cups water.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 40-50 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed.
- Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes.
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat or preheat your broiler to high.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade, discarding excess marinade. Thread the chicken pieces onto 4 skewers, distributing them evenly.
- Grill the chicken for 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked through and nicely browned. (Alternatively, broil 4 inches from the heat source for 5 minutes per side, flipping halfway).
- Just before serving, fluff the cooked rice with a fork. Stir in 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar and 1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions over the cooked rice and grilled chicken.
- Serve the Barbecued Raspberry Hoisin Chicken immediately with the reserved dipping sauce.
