  • 1 tsp crushed chili sauce
  • 1/4 cup rice wine
  • 2 tbsp Hoisin sauce
  • 2 tbsp Black Bean Sauce

  • 1 tbsp dark soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup orange juice

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper and grill until completely cooked before glazing the breasts with the Kung Pao Sauce several times during the last few minutes of cooking time. Serve on warm flatbreads with the julienne roasted peppers.

To prepare the Kung Pao Grilling Sauce

  1. Saute the garlic in the peanut oil over medium heat until it is softened but not browned.
  2. Add all of the remaining ingredients for the sauce.
