Directions
For Sesame-Chili Sauce, in a small saucepan combine all of the
ingredients except chicken. Cook over medium heat till bubbly,
stirring frequently. Reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes. Set
aside.
Rinse chicken; pat dry with paper towels. If desired, remove skin from
chicken and discard. If using quartered chickens, break wing, hip,
and drumstick joints so the bird will lie flat during cooking. Twist
wing tips undr backs.
Place chicken, skin side down, on an uncovered grill directly over
MEDIUM coals. Grill for 20 minutes. Turn; grill 15 to 25 minutes
more or till tender and no longer pink. Brush with sauce frequently
during the last 10 minutes of grilling.
Transfer chicken to a serving platter. Heat any remaining sauce
either on the grill or stove top; pass with chicken.
Make-ahead tip: The Sesame-Chili Sauce can be made up to 5 days
ahead and stored, covered, in the refrigerator.

The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as an idea can be found way back into the distant past, in truth as far as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe further still. Having said that, sadly, these ancient cook books were just simple hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to food historians is a collection of stone tablets in the Sumerian language which describe the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who drank it feel exhilarated and blissful. As we move into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a few documents which described recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, he recounts how the roman meals were divided into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. Additionally, he informs us how the early Romans used a wide range of aromatic flavours, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like thyme, fennel and dill. Over the next few hundred years, the powerful families of the West tried to lay on the most exotic meals, and as a consequence, the best cooks and their collection of recipes were at a premium. Even so, it wasn`t until the 1800s the formal cooking and recipe collections became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to assembling, trying out, and recording recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. When we get to the 1900s, recipe books are increasing in popularity mostly due to more people being able to read, people having more leisure time and having more money to spend. The arrival of TV brought us celebrity chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to search through thousands of recipes just like those on our site. |
