Game-Time Chicken

Ingredients

• 18 (6-inch) wooden skewers
• 2 lb fresh chicken breast tenderloins
• ¼ cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
• ¼ cup Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons canola oil
• 1 tablespoon garlic stir-in paste
• 1 tablespoon ginger stir-in paste
• ½ cup sliced fresh green onions, divided

Steps

1. Push sharp ends of skewers lengthwise through chicken, then arrange skewers in single layer on baking sheet (wash hands). Combine soy sauce, mustard, oil, garlic paste, ginger paste, and ¼ cup onions; pour over chicken and let stand 15 minutes (or chill overnight) to marinate.
2. Preheat grill (or grill pan) on medium. Remove chicken from marinade (discard marinade). Grill chicken 8–10 minutes, turning often, until 165°F. Sprinkle with remaining ¼ cup green onions. Serve.

Ingredients

• ½ small yellow onion
• 2 lb fresh chicken wings (or drumettes)
• 3 tablespoons canola oil
• 3 cubes chicken bouillon
• 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
• 2 tablespoons honey
• ⅓ bunch fresh cilantro

Steps

1. Grate onion (about ¼ cup). Cut wings at joints; remove wing tips (wash hands).
2. Whisk in large bowl: oil, bouillon cubes, sriracha sauce, honey, and onions until thoroughly blended; reserve ¼ cup sauce. Add wings to remaining sauce and toss until evenly coated. Let stand 30 minutes (or chill overnight) to marinate.
3. Preheat grill (or grill pan) on medium. Grill wings 10–12 minutes, turning often, until 165°F, basting with reserved sauce during last 2 minutes of grill time. Remove wings from grill. Chop cilantro (⅓ cup) and sprinkle over wings. Serve.
Note: The wings can also be baked at 450°F for 20–25 minutes until 165°F, then tossed with reserved sauce.
