Ken Hom's Grilled Soy Mustard Chicken
- 12 skinless, boneless chicken thighs, about 1 1/2 pounds
- 3 tablespoons Japanese soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh coriander
- 1 tablespoon chopped Italian parsley
- 1 tablespoon Chinese or Japanese sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons chopped orange zest
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh ginger
- With a sharp knife trim all the fat from the chicken.
- Place the pieces on a platter.
- In a blender or a small-capacity food processor mix the soy sauce, mustard, garlic, fresh coriander, parsley, sesame oil, olive oil, orange zest and ginger to make a rough paste.
- With a spatula spread this paste evenly over the surface of each chicken thigh.
- Cover with plastic wrap, refrigerate and marinate one and a half hours.
- A half-hour before you are ready to grill the chicken, remove it from the refrigerator.
- Preheat a grill or broiler.
- Grill the chicken, turning it once, until it is brown and fairly firm to the touch, 15 to 20 minutes total cooking time.
- Alternatively, the chicken can be broiled in a preheated oven broiler.
- Serve at once.
