Honey Ginger Chicken With Fresh Plum Hoisin BBQ Sauce

HONEY GINGER CHICKEN WITH
FRESH PLUM HOISIN BBQ SAUCE
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
2 T. soy sauce
2 T. honey
1 T. minced fresh ginger 

1 tsp. rice vinegar
1/2 tsp. Asian chili sauce (Sriracha)
2 garlic cloves, minced

   thighs
2 T. grapeseed or vegetable oil
1 to 2 large plums, quartered, pitted, and cut into

Directions:
1. Preheat grill. Stir together hoisin, soy, honey, ginger, vinegar, garlic, and cayenne in a small saucepan. 

Trim chicken of all fat and unwanted tissue. Pound the chicken breasts to an even 1/2-inch thickness between two sheets of plastic wrap. Coat chicken with 3 tablespoons of the sauce and let stand at room temperature 30 minutes. 

Toss chicken with oil to coat and grill chicken for 4 to 5 minutes per side or until cooked through.

Serve chicken topped with Plum Sauce and sprinkled with green onions.
