Ingredients
- ½ cup low sodium soy sauce
- ½ cup teriyaki sauce
- ¼ cup honey
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar (or lime juice)
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
- 2 to 4 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 1 to 2 teaspoons ground ginger (or fresh ginger/ginger paste)
- 1 to 2 teaspoons sriracha (optional, to taste)
- 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts (thin-sliced or butterflied; thighs or tenders also okay)
- 1 to 2 green onions, thinly sliced (optional, for garnish)
- Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and sriracha. Remove and reserve ½ cup of the marinade for later use as a dipping sauce (do not let this reserved portion touch raw chicken).
- Add chicken to the remaining marinade, toss to coat well, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 6–8 hours.
- Remove the marinated chicken from the fridge and let sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes while preheating your outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Alternatively, use a grill pan over high heat or preheat the oven to 400°F and place chicken in a greased baking dish.
- Oil grill grates to prevent sticking. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 5 minutes on the first side. Flip, brush with some of the marinade (then discard the rest), and grill for another 4–5 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 160°F.
- Remove chicken from the grill and let rest for 5–10 minutes; the temperature will rise to 165°F as it rests.
- Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if desired. Serve with reserved marinade as a dipping sauce or drizzle.
Notes
- Chicken is safely cooked when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Use a digital thermometer for accuracy.
- Letting chicken rest after grilling helps retain moisture and allows the temperature to finish rising.
- For oven baking, cook at 400°F for 20–25 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- For a thicker dipping sauce, bring the reserved marinade to a boil and simmer until slightly reduced.
- Use fresh ginger or ginger paste for a more intense flavor if preferred over ground ginger.
