Chicken and Rice (with Spice)

  Serves 4
     
 
I have chosen chicken wings and thighs for this dish, parts of the bird that I think hold up well to a peppery marinade and cooking on a barbecue without drying out. The chicken pieces should be marinated overnight in a plastic bag to soak up the flavor of the marinade.
     
Chicken
4 chicken wings 1 cup bottled hot sauce
4 chicken thigh quarters (drumsticks attached to thighs)
Rice
2 cups white rice 2 cups water
2 tbsp. curry powder 2 tsp. toasted sesame oil
1/8 tsp. cinnamon 2 tbsp. unsalted butter
2 tbsp. olive oil 1/2 cup chopped onion
1 cup sliced mushrooms 1/2 cup frozen peas
Place chicken in a bowl and pour in hot sauce. Toss chicken to coat, cover and refrigerate for at least one hour.

Heat the barbecue. If using charcoal, allow coals to become gray and "red-hot." Remove chicken pieces from hot sauce. (I like to brush off most of the hot sauce so it does not burn on the grill).

Place chicken pieces on barbecue and grill, turning every 5 minutes, until done, about 30 minutes.

Place rice into a rice cooker. Add water, then add curry powder, sesame oil and cinnamon. Turn on rice cooker. Rice is done in about 25 minutes.

While rice cooks prepare the vegetable mixture. Heat a large sauté pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add butter, olive oil and onion and cook until onion is tender, about 2 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook until done, another five minutes. Add rice to wok and stir-fry rice to incorporate with onions and mushrooms. Add peas.

Place a mound of rice in center of plate. Place a chicken thigh quarter and wing on top of rice.
