How to Make East West Barbecued Chicken

  1. Place chicken pieces (about 1.5 lbs) in a zip-top bag.
  2. Season chicken generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes.
  4. Pour the marinade over the chicken in the bag, ensuring all pieces are coated. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes (longer is better!).
  5. In a separate small bowl, combine 1/4 cup chili sauce and 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce.
  6. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  7. Grill the chicken for approximately 10 minutes per side, or until cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  8. Brush one side of the chicken with the chili-hoisin sauce and grill for another 3 minutes, until lightly browned.
  9. Flip the chicken, brush the other side with the sauce, and grill for another 3 minutes, until browned.
  10. Remove from grill, let rest for a few minutes, and serve hot. Enjoy!
