How to Make Asian Barbecue Chicken

  1. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons honey, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, and 1 clove minced garlic.
  2. Add 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts to the bag.
  3. Seal the bag, pressing out excess air. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, turning occasionally.
  4. Prepare your grill for medium-high heat.
  5. Remove chicken from the bag, reserving the marinade.
  6. In a small saucepan, bring the reserved marinade to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 1 minute.
  7. Lightly spray the grill grates with cooking spray.
  8. Place chicken on the prepared grill.
  9. Grill for 10-12 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), basting frequently with the cooked marinade.
  10. Garnish with fresh lime wedges and chopped green onions before serving.
