A Little Spice in Your Life

I meant to make this Thursday but my plans changed. I used to make this fairly often but it fell out of rotation. I have no idea why, but it's going back on the regular schedule.

Spicy Grilled Chicken and Green Onions (from Bon Appetit)

2 TBSP vegetable oil
1 TBSP hot sauce
2 tsp honey
1 tsp paprika
7 green onions
2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts

1. Prepare barbecue (medium high heat). Whisk oil, hot sauce, honey and paprika in a 9-inch glass pie dish to blend. Mince one green onion; mix into marinade. Transfer 2 TBSP marinade to a small bowl and reserve. Add chicken to glass dish to coat. Let stand 10 minutes, turning occasionally.

2. Sprinkle chicken and remaining green onions with salt Grill both until chicken is cooked through and onions soften, turning occasionally, about 10 minutes. Transfer chicken and onions to plates. Drizzle with reserved marinade.

I served this with a green salad and cheddar bacon grits. It quick and delicious. It is flavorful but my 5 year old ate it, so it isn't too spicy. It can easily be doubled or more for a crowd.

I made this for dinner tonight. High ratings for a quick simple dish. However, Alan manned the grill. When I asked about the where abouts of the onions, I was told they disintegrated.

Thanks for another great meal.
