Categories     main-dish

Time 1h25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups soy sauce
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup dark sesame oil
1 lime, juiced
4 inches fresh ginger, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded thin

Steps:

  • Combine the 1 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons sesame oil, half of the lime juice, ginger, and garlic, and 1/4 cup cilantro in the bottom of each of 2 large freezer bags. Put 2 chicken breasts in each bag and get them coated with the marinade. Then set the bags on a work surface, force the air out and seal them. Allow chicken to marinade for 1 hour. You can also freeze the chicken right in the marinade at this point. To do so fold each bag over the chicken 3 times, tape them well, and date them. Put it in the freezer for up to 2 months.
  • Place a large grill pan on 2 burners over medium-high heat, or preheat an outdoor gas or charcoal grill. Fold a few paper towels into a thick square. Blot some oil on the paper towels and then carefully and quickly wipe the ridges of the gill pan or the hot grates of the grill to make a non-stick surface.
  • Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade and season with salt and pepper. Lay the chicken on the hot grill and cook 3 to 5 minutes on each side until charred and firm. Serve with the sesame noodles and cucumber pickles.

Tips:

  • To ensure even cooking, use chicken breasts of uniform thickness. If needed, slice thicker portions in half horizontally to create thinner cutlets.
  • For the best flavor, marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight in the refrigerator. This allows the flavors to penetrate the meat.
  • When grilling the chicken, preheat the grill to medium-high heat and cook the chicken over direct heat for 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Avoid overcooking, as this can dry out the chicken.
  • Baste the chicken with the reserved marinade during the last few minutes of cooking to add extra flavor and moisture.
  • For the glaze, use a combination of honey, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, and minced ginger. This creates a sweet, tangy, and savory glaze that perfectly complements the chicken.

Conclusion:

This grilled apple and ginger-glazed chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout or a weeknight dinner. The chicken is marinated in a flavorful mixture of apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, and ginger, then grilled until cooked through. The glaze, made with honey, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, and minced ginger, adds a sweet, tangy, and savory flavor to the chicken. Serve the chicken with grilled vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
