The Best asian grilled chicken recipe

I’ve been making Asian Grilled Chicken for years, and it’s always a hit with my family. The dish is inspired by the flavors and techniques of Southeast Asian cuisine, and it’s incredibly easy to make.

The combination of sweet and savory flavors, along with the tender and juicy texture of the chicken, makes it a perfect recipe for any occasion. Whether I’m serving it at a family gathering or just need a quick and healthy meal for my kids, this recipe never fails to impress.

One of the best things about this recipe is that it’s incredibly versatile – you can serve it as is, or add your favorite toppings or sides to make it even more delicious. I love that it’s also relatively healthy, made with lean protein and plenty of vegetables.

And the best part? It’s ready in just 30 minutes, making it perfect for busy weeknights or weekend meals.

Over time, I’ve tweaked the recipe to get just the right balance of flavors – a little bit sweet, a little bit spicy, and a whole lot of savory goodness. My kids love helping me in the kitchen with this recipe, too – they’re always excited to get their hands dirty and help with the grilling process.

And let’s be real – who doesn’t love the smell of grilled chicken wafting through the air? It’s like a little taste of summer in every bite.

🥘Ingredients

For the Marinade

1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tbsp honey
2 tbsp rice vinegar
2 tbsp sesame oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp grated ginger
1 tsp Sriracha (optional)
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

For Grilling

2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

👨‍🍳Directions

1In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and Sriracha (if using).
2Whisk until well combined.
3Add chicken breasts and ensure they are fully coated in the marinade.
4Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 4 hours for better flavor.
5Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (around 400°F or 200°C).
6Brush the grill grates with vegetable oil to prevent the chicken from sticking.
7Remove the chicken from the marinade and shake off any excess.
8Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
9During the last few minutes of grilling, baste the chicken with the remaining marinade to create a caramelized glaze.
10Watch for flare-ups, as the marinade may cause the flames to rise.
11Once done, transfer the chicken to a plate and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
12Sprinkle with sesame seeds for garnish, if desired.
13Serve with steamed vegetables and jasmine rice.
