This Honey Soy Grilled Chicken recipe is a delightful twist on the classic teriyaki chicken, offering a balance of sweet and savory flavors.
In a mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
Whisk the marinade thoroughly to ensure the honey dissolves completely.
Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and massage to coat the chicken evenly.
For best results, let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Ensure the grill grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill. Cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Avoid flipping the chicken too often to achieve nice grill marks.
Serve the grilled chicken hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Pair with a side of steamed vegetables or rice for a complete meal.
