This chicken is just full of flavor. Scoring the breast or thigh before marinating allows the marinade to penetrate the meat better and faster. I found this recipe in Cooking Pleasures Magazine and we just loved it. Another plus is a short marinading time that does not compromise the flavor at all. Longer would only make it better.

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons fish sauce
2 tablespoons molasses
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon dark sesame oil
2 teaspoons black pepper (I use red pepper flakes and it was VERY good)
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (thighs would work well too)

Steps:

  • Heat grill.
  • Place all the ingredients except the chicken in a shallow glass baking dish and stir them together.
  • Make shallow slits across the chicken breast, going a little deeper in the thick end.
  • Make shallow slits long ways, resulting in a slight diamond pattern in the meat.
  • Put the chicken in the marinade and make sure some gets in the slits.
  • This only needs to marinade for 10 or 15 minutes to pick up the flavor, I believe this is because of the slits.
  • Place on grill and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, until no longer pink.
  • Turn once during cooking.
