Teriyaki-Glazed Grilled Chicken image

Take grilled chicken breasts in a tasty, direction with this clever recipe: the chicken is pounded so it cooks quickly and evenly, then a tangy homemade hoisin-teriyaki glaze goes on in the last few minutes of cooking to create a delicious char.

Time 50m

Yield Serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (each about 8 ounces)
1/4 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1 small garlic clove, grated
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Place chicken breasts between two layers of plastic wrap and lightly pound them to an even thickness (about 1/2 inch). Let stand at room temperature about 30 minutes.
  • While chicken rests, whisk together ketchup, hoisin, brown sugar, lime juice, sesame oil, and garlic.
  • Season both sides of chicken with salt and pepper. Prepare grill for direct-heat cooking; let grates get very hot (this ensures a good sear without drying out meat).
  • Oil grates and cook chicken, turning occasionally, until charred in places and cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes total. In the last 2 to 3 minutes of cooking, brush hoisin mixture over both sides of chicken, turning occasionally; serve.
