Ingredients
Scale
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
- 2 green onions, sliced (optional)
Instructions
- Mix the Marinade: In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and thoroughly combined.
- Coat the Chicken: Place chicken breasts in a container and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well-coated on all sides. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (1-2 hours recommended for deeper flavor).
- Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill over medium-high heat and brush the grates with olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Prepare for Grilling: Remove the chicken from the marinade and allow any excess marinade to drip off to prevent flare-ups on the grill.
- Grill the Chicken: Place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Brush with additional marinade during the last minute of cooking for extra flavor.
- Rest and Slice: Remove the chicken from the grill, let it rest for a few minutes to allow the juices to redistribute, and then slice or serve whole.
- Garnish: Optional: Before serving, sprinkle sesame seeds and sliced green onions on top. Serve your beautiful creation with a side of rice or fresh vegetables for a complete meal.
Notes
For best results, marinate for at least 1 hour; up to 2 hours is ideal. Serve with steamed jasmine rice or sautéed vegetables.
