A delightful chicken recipe with a zesty marinade featuring honey, ginger, and soy sauce, perfect for a quick and flavorful meal.
Combine the garlic, ginger, soy sauce, honey, sherry, lemon juice, and sesame oil in a shallow glass bowl.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly to ensure the flavors are well combined.
Place the chicken breasts in the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
For deeper flavor, marinate the chicken overnight.
Preheat the grill to medium heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, reserving the marinade for basting.
Ensure the grill is clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
Grill the chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side, basting occasionally with the reserved marinade, until fully cooked.
Use a meat thermometer to check that the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Serve the grilled chicken with your choice of sides, such as steamed vegetables or rice.
Garnish with sesame seeds or chopped green onions for added flavor and presentation.
