Ingredients
Scale
2 pounds Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/3 cup Low-sodium soy sauce
3 tablespoons Rice vinegar
2 tablespoons Honey
1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons Sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
3 stalks Green onions, sliced
1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
Instructions
- Combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, grated ginger, minced garlic, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes in a large bowl. Whisk everything together until the honey dissolves completely
- Place chicken breasts in a large resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece gets coated thoroughly. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 8 hours for maximum flavor
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 375-400°F. Clean and oil the grates to prevent sticking
- Remove chicken from marinade, shaking off excess. Reserve some marinade for basting if desired, but bring it to a boil first for food safety
- Grill chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, depending on thickness. The internal temperature should reach 165°F when measured with a meat thermometer
- Let the Asian grilled chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat
- Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately
Notes
Pound chicken breasts to an even thickness before marinating for uniform cooking.
Always let your chicken come to room temperature for 15 minutes before grilling.
Use a meat thermometer to check doneness.
