Butterflied Asian Chicken
Recipe courtesy Sandra Lee, 2008

Ingredients
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.
