Chicken Marinade

Method

Marinating the Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, mirin, minced garlic, minced ginger, and sesame oil. Whisk until the brown sugar is dissolved.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Place the chicken breasts 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 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for best flavor.

Grilling the Chicken

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F or 190-200°C).

  2. 4

    Grill the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Discard the marinade. Grill the chicken breasts for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  3. 5

    Let it Rest

    Once cooked, transfer the grilled chicken to a plate and let it rest for 5 minutes.

Serving

  1. 6

    Slice and Garnish

    Slice the grilled chicken into strips and sprinkle with sesame seeds and additional sliced green onions before serving.
