Description
Sweet Chili Chicken is sweet and spicy with flavors of garlic, fresh ginger, soy, and sweet chili sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2–3 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup sweet chili sauce
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 3 tablespoons corn oil
- 1/4 cup lime juice
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger (minced)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Mix: In a large zip-style bag add the marinade ingredients and push around on the outside of the bag with your fingers to combine.
- Flatten: Lightly flatten the chicken by placing one piece at a time inside a plastic bag or between two pieces of plastic wrap using a wooden rolling pin or a meat tenderizer to make it even thickness.
- Marinate: Place each piece of flattened chicken into the marinade and refrigerate for 2 hours and up to 24 hours.
- Preheat: Preheat your gas grill to medium to high heat or prepare a charcoal grill.
- Grill: Grill the chicken over medium to high heat for about 3-4 minutes on each side, turning occasionally with tongs.
- Glaze: Pour the remaining marinade over the chicken while it cooks.
- Cook: Cook until the internal temperature of the chicken is 165 degrees F.
- Rest: Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Notes
Corn oil is recommended for its high smoke point. This recipe also works well with chicken thighs or tenderloins.
