Ingredients

3	pounds	chicken	cut into 8 pieces, skin and fat removed, or 8 skinless chicken breasts or thighs
1/3	cup	ketchup
1/4	cup	hoisin sauce
1	tablespoon	cider vinegar
1	tablespoon	molasses	unsulfured
1	teaspoon	soy sauce, sodium reduced
1	teaspoon	chinese chili paste	with garlic

Directions

Precooking the chicken in the microwave or gently poaching it on the stovetop before finishing it on the grill ensures that the meat is cooked through but the sauce is not charred. If you like a hotter sauce, increase the amount of chili paste.

Arrange chicken pieces in a micro-proof dish, with the thickest parts toward the outside of the dish.

Cover with vented plastic wrap and microwave at HIGH (100%)

8 to 10 minutes, or until tender, turning pieces twice.

Alternatively, in a wide sauce-pan, cover chicken with cold water and bring to a simmer, skimming off any froth.

Simmer gently until chicken is tender, 10 to 12 minutes.

Meanwhile, prepare the grill or preheat the broiler.

In a small bowl, whisk together remaining ingredients.

With tongs, remove the chicken from the dish or sauce pan and brush both sides generously with barbecue sauce.

Grill over medium-high heat or broil, basting with the barbecue sauce often, until the chicken is glazed on the outside and no longer pink inside, about 5 minutes on each side.

Wreath Cookies

These are great, and easy - just be sure NEVER double your batch if you have to make a lot: the corn flakes will get soggy and the "batter" hard to handle!! (I found out the hard way!) Great treats, tho, and fun for kids to make, too!!
