This is one of the Chinese take-out staples, but it’s also the perfect dish to throw on the grill this summer. The sweet chicken meshes with rice wine, soy sauce, and Sriracha for a punch of flavor that pairs perfectly with the smokiness from the grill. This fun Slow Grilled Chinese Char Siu Chicken recipe is based on char siu, the red pork you see at Chinese restaurants. It dips for a good time period in a great marinade giving it that color and tons of flavor.
The fair red chicken’s color is matched by its bold flavors. It is a combination of sweet and savory with a lovely mix of spices. It is sticky and delicious. The chicken marinades for a few days, giving the flavor a chance to really soak in.
You can end it with a great glaze as it cooks, giving you that finger-licking good shiny finish. This is a fantastic way to switch up your grilled chicken routine!
