Chicken Sambal 1

Grilled Sambal Chicken

4 T Cholula (don’t use Sriracha, it over powers all the other flavors)

1/2 c loosely packed brown sugar

1/3 c garlic and chili paste

2 T fish sauce

2 t finely grated ginger

1/2 c. rice wine vinegar

Whisk the above ingredients together in a bowl until well combined and no lumps of brown sugar remain.  Reserve 4-5 T for later use.

Trim and score four skinless, boneless chicken breasts and place in the remaining marinade, coating both sides.  Refrigerate for two hours or until ready to cook.

Place on a hot grill and leave undisturbed for 4 minutes (for grill marks).  Turn over and brush with the reserved 4-5 T of marinade.  Cook until done (about 10 minutes total).
