At Home Recipes: Yoshi Jenkins - Round 3

For our last round of recipes with Yoshi Jenkins, Rashad shares his Grilled Tamarind Chicken, Miso Molasses Baked Beans and Citrus Slaw for an ideal Summer BBQ with Mazama ceramics.

Grilled Tamarind Chicken

Ingredients:

  • 1 whole organic chicken broken up into 8 - 10 pieces
  • ¾ cup tamarind cooking pulp
  • 1 tbsp chinese five spice
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp  fish sauce
  • 3 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 5 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 lime zested
  • 1 red chili pepper, seeds and stem removed

Method:

  1. Add all ingredients to a bowl and mix until well combined. Set aside a ¼ cup of marinade. Add chicken pieces and gently massage marinade into each piece. Marinade chicken for at least 12 hours.
  2. Prepare a grill for indirect heat. While the grill heats up, remove chicken from the refrigerator, wipe away/pat dry surface moisture (want chicken to sear not steam) and allow chicken to come to room temperature. Chicken will cook more evenly this way.
  3. Score shallow slits into the largest pieces of chicken then sear chicken on each side for 3 to 4 minutes per side. Feel free to baste chicken with extra marinade you set aside. Move pieces to the coolest side of the grill
