Indonesian Ginger Chicken

This turned out to be another delicious Barefoot Contessa recipe. With only 5 ingredients it was a really easy marinade and it was packed with flavor. The recipe called for 2 whole chickens to be quartered and then marinated. I used 2 bone-in, skin on chicken breasts and 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs. The recipe also called for the chicken to marinate overnight and I really think that it needed that time to soak up the flavors. I forgot to marinate the meat the night before I cooked it, so it only got to sit for about 9 hours. Also, instead of baking the chicken, we grilled it (surprise, surprise!) That was good and I think I will grill the chicken again, but next time I think I will reduce the marinade and make a sauce.

Bon Appetit!

  1. Hey Jen - it's Devin again - I made the broccoli bowtie pasta and the grilled chicken tacos this week. They were both so good. Thanks for the recipes. I did use chicken instead of sausage in the pasta. It was really good that way. Keep the recipes coming. I am hoping to try the indonesian chicken this next week!
    Thanks again,
    Devin

  2. Devin, I'll have to try chicken in the pasta, that sounds great! I'm glad you liked the tacos too, I think I am making those tonight.
