Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.5 cup Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 teaspoons Fresh ginger, grated
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha (optional for heat)
- 2 stalks Green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, grated ginger, minced garlic, rice vinegar, and sriracha (if using).
Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over the chicken. Seal the bag, removing as much air as possible, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or up to 8 hours for a deeper flavor).
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off. Discard the used marinade.
Grill the chicken for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is nicely charred on the outside.
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes to retain its juices.
Slice the chicken into thin strips and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Serve alongside steamed rice or fresh vegetables for a complete meal.
