Skip the Roast Chicken - Try this Fast, Korean-Style Chicken for Friday Night Dinner | The Nosher
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 Tbsp brown sugar
- 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 Tbsp sesame oil
- 2 large cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 2 thick scallions, finely chopped
- 1 Tbsp finely chopped fresh ginger
- freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper or 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper, optional
- 4 large skinless and boneless chicken breast halves
- 1 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds, optional
Instructions
- Combine the soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, vegetable oil, sesame oil, garlic, scallions, ginger, black pepper and cayenne pepper, if used, in a dish large enough to hold the chicken breasts. Mix the ingredients well.
- Immerse the chicken and turn them a few times to coat all surfaces. (I usually place the chicken and marinade in a plastic bag.) Marinate for 2-3 hours, turning the meat from time to time.
- Preheat an outdoor grill or oven broiler. (You can also use a stovetop grill pan like this)
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill the breasts, brushing occasionally with the marinade, for about 8 minutes, turning once or twice, or until the breasts are cooked through.
- Sprinkle with the sesame seeds if desired.
