Butterflied Asian Chicken

I saw this on Food Network today and made it for the family tonight. SO YUMMY and EASY. I think next time I make it, I will use a cut up chicken or breast with the bones still in. The BIG piece of Chicken did not Grill as nicely as it did on the Show. But the Sauce is Awesome! Like a Asian BBQ. Might try it on Pork also.


Butterflied Asian Chicken

1 whole roasting chicken
1/4 cup Chinese five-spice
1 tablespoon ground ginger
1 cup hoisin sauce
1/4 cup rice vinegar
1 teaspoon pre-minced ginger
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
For the Chicken:
Directions
Remove neck, giblets and cut away excess fat from 1 whole roasting chicken. Take a pair of kitchen sheers and cut along both sides of backbone to remove it. Turn chicken skin-side up and press down between the breasts to break the keel bone. This will allow the chicken to lay very flat on grill and cook quickly.

In a small bowl, combine the Chinese five-spice and ground ginger. Sprinkle liberally over all sides of chicken. Set aside.

In a small pot over medium-high heat, combine the hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, pre-minced ginger (from a jar) and the brown sugar. Bring to a boil for 3 minutes before using.

Set up outdoor or indoor grill on medium heat. Oil grate when ready to start cooking.


Place chicken on preheated grill. Flip after 15 minutes and glaze top. Turn and brush every 15 minutes until internal temperature of the thigh is 180 degrees F, about 45 minutes total. Transfer to cutting board and let it rest 5 minutes before cutting.

Sprinkle the chicken with sesame seeds and serve.

Taylor and the Piano

DT wanted to take Piano. He is the one that wanted to do it. I am proud of him! He is learning the Hymns. I just love listening to him practice. And for the past 2 months we have sung "We Thank Thee Oh God for a Prophet" for FHE. That is what he played for the recital.

SPE Office Staff

There are people in your life that you absolutely LOVE. These 3 women are some of those people. Maria, Karen, and Sonja. (there is one woman missing, Sylvia). They are family and always will be. They are the front office staff at the school my kids go to. They love my kids and have really been a help to me as I have been in the PTSO over these last 4 years. JJ has known them all of her life. And they have spoiled her with hugs and treats.

The Mighty Moore's LOVE YOU!

6th Grade Science Camp

I was a Room Mom for Madison for Science Camp. It was a blast for me. Maybe not for the other people in my cabin as I snored but I had fun. :)

We had to do a song for every meal.

Nancy and I were in charge of Owl Pellets. This is Madi dysecting it. It was actually a pretty cool class to teach.
