Grilled Chicken Breast With Ginger And Soy Recipes

GRILLED CHICKEN WITH ASIAN SOY GINGER MARINADE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk all marinade ingredients (everything except for the chicken). Pour into a gallon-size resealable plastic bag and add the chicken. Press as much air from the bag as possible and seal.
• Turn the bag a few times to coat all of the chicken in marinade and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 1 day, turning the bag occasionally to ensure the chicken marinates evenly.
• Preheat your gas grill with all burners on high and close the lid. When the grill is hot (after about 15 minutes), turn the 2 burners closest to the front to low, keeping the back burner on high. Remove the chicken from the bag and arrange on the grates over the low heat burners. Cover and cook until the underside of the chicken is just beginning to develop light grill marks, 6 to 9 minutes. Flip the chicken, cover, and continue to cook until the chicken is firm to touch, 6 to 9 minutes longer
• To get a nice char on the chicken, now move the chicken to the part of the grill over high flames and cook uncovered until each side has solid grill marks, 5 to 6 minutes, flipping halfway.
• The chicken should be completely firm to the touch and register 160 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. Transfer the chicken to a plate, tent with foil, and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

GINGER SOY GRILLED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Start by combining the sesame oil, lime juice, honey, soy sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, and salt and pepper in a shallow baking dish. Whisk these ingredients together with a fork and set everything aside while you prepare the chicken.
• Add the bone-in, skinless chicken pieces to the baking dish with the marinade, making sure the chicken pieces are well-coated in the marinade. Cover the dish with a lid or some plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours
• This is a dish that you can prepare earlier in the day and leave it to marinate for several hours until it's time to grill.
• When it's time to grill, remove the chicken from the fridge and let it rest at room temperature while you preheat the grill.
• When your grill is ready, turn the heat down to medium-low (if your grill is notoriously hot like mine is, then grill on low to be safe) and place the chicken pieces on the grill.
• Leave them for about 8 minutes, making sure you allow the bottom side to caramelize before turning. Flip them when they've achieved a nice brown colour on the bottom side and let them grill on the other side on medium-low (or low) for another 8 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit (use an instant read meat thermometer).
• Remove them from the grill and let them rest for 2-3 minutes. Garnish with some chopped green onions and serve!

GRILLED HALF CHICKEN WITH GINGER AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Mix together the soy sauce, sake, ginger, garlic, tobanjan, brown sugar, and salt in a bowl to make the marinade. Pour three-fourths of the marinade into a baking dish or rimmed sheet pan; reserve the rest. Lay the chicken in the marinade and flip the halves four times to generously coat all over. Use a rubber spatula or your hands to make sure all the crevices are well coated. Marinate the chicken halves for 10 minutes, turning once.
• Preheat a grill to medium. Grill the chicken, covered, for about 35 minutes. Start by grilling skin side down for about two minutes. Flip the chicken and brush on the reserved marinade.
• Flip the chicken about every seven minutes, brushing on more marinade after each turn. The chickens are done when very juicy with meat pulling away from the bone. Rest the chicken for five minutes, cut into serving pieces, and serve.
