Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons fish sauce
2 tablespoons honey or brown sugar
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
Juice of 1 lime
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon black pepper
Optional: chopped scallions and cilantro for garnishing
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine soy sauce, fish sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, lime juice, sesame oil, and black pepper. Mix well until the honey dissolves.
- Place the chicken in a zip-lock bag or shallow dish, pour the marinade over it, and ensure all pieces are coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or 2-4 hours for more flavor.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade and grill for about 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked and charred.
- Once grilled, let the chicken rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped scallions and cilantro. Serve hot with steamed rice or noodles.
Notes
- Marinate the chicken for a minimum of 30 minutes; for best flavor, marinate overnight.
- Adjust grilling time based on thickness of chicken cuts.
- Use fresh herbs like cilantro and scallions for added flavor and presentation.
