Barbecued Raspberry-Hoisin Chicken

Hoisin sauce along with pureed tart raspberries makes a wonderful Chinese-inspired marinade and dipping sauce for grilled chicken. Plan ahead: The chicken thighs benefit from marinating for at least 2 hours before grilling.

I made this last night for company. instead of brown rice I made a large Spring Mix / Spinach salad with fresh raspberries, cukes, scallions, almonds, a few grape tomatoes. & light Asian dressing. It was fanfastic! The guests have called twice to compliment the dinner and ask for the recipe. Delicous! V Cooper vcooper55	7 weeks 2 days ago
My mom and I couldn't believe how delicious this was. I used boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into large chunks and it worked very nicely over the rice. I didn't want to waste an orange just for the zest...so I just used 2tbsp of orange juice (Trop50 to be exact) and the marinade was perfect. I let it marinate over night and it made for exceptionally juicy, flavorful chicken. I will definitely make this again.	7 weeks 2 days ago
I'm with Skaneateles. This was fabulous! I'm glad I made extra. Ron, Surrey, BC	7 weeks 6 days ago
Excellent chicken, the flavors kept us going back for more. I cooked more chicken than I thought we would eat and it all disappeared. The rice with vinegar & scalions is a must with this, also served snow peas so it felt like an Asian meal. Plan on serving it again soon! VT Kitchen, Charlotte, VT	7 weeks 6 days ago

I made this last weekend using organic raspberries. The marinade seemd too thick so I added another Tabl of rice vinegar and a little red pepper flakes. Marinated it overnight. My son and I were very delighted with the complex flavors and juicy chicken. I will make again! Linda Cochran, Worth, IL	7 weeks 6 days ago
Fantastic marinade/dipping sauce! Vicki, Denver, CO	7 weeks 6 days ago
This was so worth the extra effort! I doubled it to make for company. My husband couldn't stop eating it. A great use for all the bowls of raspberries we accumulated this season. (But it would be very expensive to make out of season!) I added red pepper squares and zucchini to the skewers. Also, I used the Koon Chun brand of hoisin - the only kind I ever use. It has a blue and yellow label and is much less cloying than any other brand I've tried. , Moscow, ID	7 weeks 6 days ago
This was wonderful. Many complex flavors. To save time, we skipped cutting up the chicken and placing it on skewers. We simply left the skin on the boneless thighs and grilled them. The result was moist juicy chicken and crispy skin. Yum! , Skaneateles, NY	7 weeks 6 days ago
