πŸ‘¨β€πŸ³ Instructions

Score the skin side of each piece of chicken 2 to 3 times, about 1/8 inch deep.

Whisk together the the juice of 1/2 lime, 1 tablespoon fish sauce, garlic, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, Chinese five-spice powder, 2 teaspoons hot chile paste, ginger, and soy sauce in a bowl.

Pour into a resealable plastic bag.

Add chicken, coat evenly with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag.

Marinate in refrigerator for 6 hours.

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.

Remove chicken halves from the bag and transfer to a plate or baking sheet lined with paper towels.

Pat chicken pieces dry with more paper towels.

Reserve marinade mixture in a small bowl.

Whisk together the 1/3 cup rice vinegar, juice of 1/2 lime, 1 teaspoon fish sauce, and 1 teaspoon hot chile paste in a small bowl.

Grill chicken, skin-side down, on the preheated grill for 2 minutes.

Turn each piece, brush with reserved marinade mixture, and move to indirect heat.

Grill, brushing with glaze and turning ever 10-15 minutes, until well-browned and meat is no longer pink in the center, about 45 minutes total.

An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 180 degrees F (82 degrees C).

Drizzle vinegar lime juice mixture over the chicken and serve.
