Korean Chicken
This is Bill's parents' recipe, from some of their neighbors who were from Korea. I usually at least double the marinade; no matter how much of this I make, we eat it all up by the next day!
1/4 C. soy sauce
1/4 C. water
2 Tbsp. sesame oil
2 Tbsp. sugar (I use 2 packets Splenda)
1 small chopped onion
1/2 tsp. pepper
1/2 tsp. paprika
1 whole chicken (I recommend bone-in, skin-on thighs)
Mix all ingredients; marinate as long as possible/overnight; grill.)

Picadillo
Please note that I made this without the diced potato (which is interesting) and added a scoop of raisins (which I think are key in picadillo). I also used some of the juice from the jar of olives for additional moisture. Also I didn't have a green pepper, so I substituted minced carrot. Yum!
