This recipe offers a delightful twist on a classic BBQ marinade, combining sweet and savory flavors for a perfect grilled chicken.
In a mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper.
Grating the ginger releases more flavor than chopping it.
Place the chicken breasts in a sealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them.
Ensure the chicken is evenly coated by massaging the bag gently.
Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight for best results.
Place the bag on a plate to catch any potential leaks.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Clean the grill grates before preheating to prevent sticking.
Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Serve the grilled chicken hot with your favorite sides.
Garnish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds for added flavor and presentation.
