How to Make Spicy Sweet Chicken Marinated With Soy Sauce

  1. In a bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup soy sauce and 1/4 cup brown sugar until the sugar dissolves completely.
  2. Add 2 tablespoons sesame oil, 2 minced cloves garlic, and 2 chopped scallions to the soy sauce mixture.
  3. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
  4. Using a fork, poke several holes in each chicken breast (or leg) to help them absorb the marinade.
  5. Place the marinated chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag. Remove as much air as possible, seal the bag, and gently shake to ensure the chicken is fully coated.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 3 1/2 hours, turning the bag every 30 minutes to redistribute the marinade evenly.
  7. Prepare your grill for indirect heat. For charcoal grills, bank the coals to one side. For gas grills, turn off one or two burners.
  8. Place the chicken on the cooler side of the grill. Grill, turning every 5-7 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). (Cooking time will vary depending on the size of the chicken and your grill; expect approximately 20-30 minutes.)
  9. Once cooked through, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  10. Enjoy your delicious Spicy Sweet Soy-Marinated Chicken!
