GRILLED VIETNAMESE CHICKEN

This chicken is just full of flavor. Scoring the breast or thigh before marinating allows the marinade to penetrate the meat better and faster.

Ingredients

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

Direction

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