Chicken with an Asian Twist

KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken) may have their big bucket of chicken, but around here we have our big bag of chicken with an Asian flair.

Drumsticks are a favorite around here. All of the children fight over them, so why not just buy a whole package of drumsticks? It works out well that way.

Let's marinate our chicken shall we? Here's everything you need. Easy peasy right?

Throw your chicken into a large ziploc bag. Then pour in some soy sauce.

Chop up your cilantro. For this big batch I used  a whole bundle.

Don't forget your salt and pepper. No need to measure. Just dump a little or a lot in there, depending on your taste buds.

Let's add some sweetness to the whole thing by throwing in some sugar.

Garlic is one of the best foods that God has created, so lets throw that in the bag too!

Squish everything all around until it's blended well. Then stick it in your fridge for a few hours.

Around dinner time stick those babies on the grill and cook them up. In the winter I stick them in the oven and broil them. Mmm. . . 

Serve with that awesome cucumber salad I posted the other day and a side of sticky rice!
