When ready to grill, place chicken on gas grill over medium heat or on charcoal grill 4 to 6 inches from medium coals.

Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    To broil chicken, place on broiler pan; broil 4 to 6 inches from heat using times above as a guide, turning and brushing frequently with glaze during last 15 minutes of cooking time.
  • tip 2
    Gingerroot is a knobby root covered with tan skin. Purchase gingerroot with smooth skin, indicating its freshness. Peel the skin before using it. Wrap and refrigerate the unused portion for up to a week or freeze for up to 2 months.
  • tip 3
    Dark sesame oil is available in the Asian food section of the supermarket. It iparts a deep rich flavor, stronger than light sesame oil.
  • tip 4
    Substitute four chicken breast halves for the cut-up frying chicken.
