When I saw this recipe on Good Stuff Maynard, I knew it would be perfect for our Christmas dinner. I like to make something other than traditional ham or turkey because we eat those meals at extended family celebrations.
This chicken was a hit and luckily it was nice enough to grill out on Christmas day.
Gather up your ingredients:
6-8 boneless chicken thighs or breasts (I used tenders)
1 cup canned coconut milk
1 Tbs. minced fresh ginger
1 tsp. black pepper
1 tsp. red pepper flakes
Mix these ingredients together and marinate the chicken for at least an hour. I let mine marinate several hours. Grill the chicken.
Glaze:
3/4 cup rice vinegar
1/2 cup sugar
3 Tbs. soy sauce
1 tsp. red pepper flakes
While the chicken is grilling, bring these ingredients to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook 8-10 minutes until it reduces and starts to thicken. (Mine didn’t really thicken but it worked anyway) Glaze the chicken with the sauce during the last few minutes of grilling.
I took the suggestion on Good Stuff Maynard and used the rest of the coconut milk as part of the liquid in the rice. Very yummy!
Made this tonight with coconut rice and steamed broccoli. It was really good, especially when cut up and all mixed together, stir fry like. I cooked it on our Foreman Grill and it was really quick. The sauce thickens if you let it boil enough and cool slightly.
That’s great AJ, I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Just made this for dinner tonight. I couldn’t get the sauce to thicken either, so I sprinkled in a little corn starch and ran a whisk through it for about 30 seconds. Worked like a charm! Yummy sauce! We also put the chicken on skewers and cooked it on the George Forman. Yum!

Yum! I love chicken, but it often ends up dry when I cook it. I’ll bet this is nice and juicy.
Adding this to our list of new dishes to try…
