Easy Char Siu / Chinese Barbecue Chicken Recipe with Spice Premix

If you love Chinese BBQ pork (char siu), you will love this BBQ chicken recipe. I’m using a shortcut with a store-bought Chinese barbecue seasoning mix that you can find just about anywhere. Bring the flavor up a notch by adding a few extra ingredients from the pantry and marinate the chicken overnight. Throw these babies on the grill or in the oven, and enjoy char siu without heading to Chinatown.

Vietnamese/Chinese Barbecue Pork (Thit Xa Xiu/Char Siu)

You see this all over Chinatown: Chinese/Vietnamese BBQ Pork hanging from window shops. Known as Xa Xiu in Vietnamese or Char Siu in Chinese, this delicious BBQ porky goodness is to die for. When making this at home, I make sure to double or even triple the recipe because Xa Xiu can be used in many other Vietnamese dishes. You can find Xa Xiu in Banh Mi, Hu Tieu, Bun, Mi, Banh Bao or simply serve over steamed rice. The versatility is endless!
