Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1-inch piece fresh ginger, grated
- 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 green onions, finely chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- 1. Create the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, and sesame oil until smooth.
- 2. Marinate Chicken: Place chicken breasts in a resealable bag or shallow dish and pour marinade over them. Seal tightly or cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for deeper flavor).
- 3. Preheat Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high (about 375°F) and ensure grates are clean and lightly oiled.
- 4. Grill Chicken: Remove chicken from marinade (discard excess). Grill each breast for 6-8 minutes per side until charred and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- 5. Glaze & Rest: Brush with leftover marinade during the last few minutes of grilling to enhance flavor. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
