| Grilled Lemon Chicken I ~ You can substitute with duck. 3½ ~ 4 lb chicken, quartered (4 lb ~ 4½ lb duck) Group 1 4 scallions, trimmed and finely chopped 1 tsp grated fresh ginger 2 tsp powdered turmeric 2 tbsp dark soy sauce - (see note) 1 tsp sugar salt & freshly ground black pepper to taste ½ tsp grated lemon rind ~~~~~ lemon wedges 1. Quarter chicken. If the backbone is removed it will lie flatter on the grill. It will also cook more evenly if the wing tip and second wing bone are removed. Use a sharp knife to trim away all excess fat. 2. Combine Group 1. Rub the mixture into the chicken. Let it stand 3½-4 hours, turning the chicken pieces in the marinade. 3. Meanwhile, prepare a charcoal fire. Place the chicken fat side down. Cook about 1 hour, turning the chicken frequently and as necessary until it is evenly cooked and the skin is crisp. Serve with lemon wedges. Note: The usual soy sauce bought in supermarkets is "light soy sauce". Dark sauce, a basic ingredient for Chinese cooking is somewhat heavier both in color and density. Check your local Chinese or Asian grocery. Bon Appetit ~ ChileMasters |
