How to Make Barbecued Sesame Chicken Breasts
- In a shallow dish, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons sesame oil, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, 1 clove minced garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes.
- Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
- Remove chicken from the marinade and reserve the marinade.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- In a small saucepan, bring the reserved marinade to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, or until slightly thickened. Set aside to cool.
- Grill the chicken breasts for 7-10 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), basting frequently with the reserved sauce.
- Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Garnish with sesame seeds (optional).
