This is a delicious and totally unique dish. Think of it as Chicken Teriyaki with a South Asian flair...or India meets the other flavors of Asia. Tempted?
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice (you'll need 2-3 limes)
11/2 tablespoons canola or vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon Asian sesame oil
3/4 teaspoon Garam Masala
3 cloves garlic, minced
11/2 teaspoons fresh ginger, grated*
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (use more or less depending on how much heat you like)
8 skinless, boneless chicken thighs
2 scallions (light and dark green parts only), thinly sliced
1. In a medium bowl, mix together all ingredients except for chicken and scallions. Set 1/4 cup of the marinade aside and cover (you'll use this later for the sauce), then place the rest in a zip-lock freezer bag with the chicken thighs. Be sure chicken is evenly coated, then place bag in refrigerator (in a bowl in case of leakage); let marinate for 3-4 hours.
2. Preheat grill to high heat.
3. Grease grill. (Lightly dip a wad of paper towels in vegetable oil; then, using tongs, carefully rub over grates several times until glossy and coated - repeat as necessary.) Place chicken on the grill; cover and cook 3-5 minutes on each side, or until nicely browned and done. Place chicken on serving platter, then top with reserved marinade and sliced scallions. Serve hot.
