Sticky Grilled Chicken Recipe

Ingredients:

  • For the Chicken:
    • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
    • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • For the Marinade:
    • 1/4 cup soy sauce
    • 1/4 cup honey
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
    • 1 tablespoon sriracha (optional, for heat)
    • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
    • 3 cloves garlic, minced
    • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
    • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • For the Glaze:
    • Reserved marinade
    • 1/4 cup honey
    • 2 tablespoons brown sugar

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Marinade:
    • In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, olive oil, hoisin sauce, sriracha, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil.
  2. Marinate the Chicken:
    • Place the chicken breasts or thighs in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish.
    • Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are well-coated.
    • Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
  3. Prepare the Grill:
    • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
    • Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
  4. Grill the Chicken:
    • Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting the excess marinade drip off. Reserve the marinade for later use.
    • Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
    • Grill the chicken for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is cooked through.
  5. Make the Glaze:
    • While the chicken is grilling, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan.
    • Add honey and brown sugar to the saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
    • Reduce the heat and simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the sauce thickens into a glaze.
  6. Glaze the Chicken:
    • In the last few minutes of grilling, brush the chicken with the sticky glaze, turning the pieces to coat them evenly.
  7. Serve:
    • Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.
    • Serve hot with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.

Enjoy your sticky grilled chicken!
