How to Make Spicy Sweet Chicken Marinated With Soy Sauce
- In a bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup soy sauce and 1/4 cup brown sugar until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Add 2 tablespoons sesame oil, 2 minced cloves garlic, and 2 chopped scallions to the soy sauce mixture.
- Stir well to combine all ingredients.
- Using a fork, poke several holes in each chicken breast (or leg) to help them absorb the marinade.
- 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.
- Refrigerate for at least 3 1/2 hours, turning the bag every 30 minutes to redistribute the marinade evenly.
- Prepare your grill for indirect heat. For charcoal grills, bank the coals to one side. For gas grills, turn off one or two burners.
- 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.)
- Once cooked through, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
- Enjoy your delicious Spicy Sweet Soy-Marinated Chicken!
