Korean Grilled Chicken

Last year, at this same time, my family did what we always do~ observe Lent.  We decided to do something together as a family, to give up or inspire, to keep our eye on the ball, so to speak, our eye on Christ.  We were going to give up sarcasm, but decided that would be a major fail.  We gave up red meat, hooved animals, instead.  I don't mean to offend any practicing vegetarians, but my group, we are not.  In conjunction with this decision, actually, within two weeks after Ash Wednesday, we went on a natural health diet(thank you to a dear friend, really, a dear friend.  Not to mention names, Brandi) which did not include any glutens, grains (except sprouted), milk, or sugar.  Oh my~  I can NOT express how dearly we missed our red meats.  But we held strong and we had chicken and chicken and fish, and chicken, chicken, chicken, and fish AND chicken, chicken, fish, chicken, fish and chicken AGAIN. 

Okay, Lent has rolled back around again and we have made a new challenge for ourselves. It's not important to this narrative. Yet, oddly enough, we revisited a chicken dish -Friday - we all enjoyed in the past and since. 

Ingredients:

3 garlic cloves
1 small onion
green onions
2 tablespoons rice wine
1/4 cup brown sugar or agave or honey.  all are good in this.
1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce (there is gluten free soy sauce)
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon (at least) black pepper
1 inch ginger root - grated
1 tablespoon olive oil or 1/2 tablespoon sesame oil
3 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs.
one gallon ziploc bag. 

How to:
Smash garlic and rough chop.
Slice onion or/and green onions
Place into ziploc and add all ingredients through ginger.  Mush and smush with your fingers against the bag.  Add chicken pieces.  Seal bag.  Slosh around thoroughly.  Place in fridge.  Marinate over night, or all day. Inverting bag as you think of it. 

                                                         Grill

Let rest and then slice. 

  Serve with stir fry vegetables, brown rice or anything you would like.  Is tasty on salads and sandwiches.  Win win.  Have some chicken one way, some chicken another way.  Chicken Chicken
