Delicious Honey Grilled Chicken Recipe for Summer BBQ

Ingredients

Servings:
2
  • 1 cup honey
  • 2 lbs chicken breast (boneless, skinless)
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp ginger powder
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, mix honey, soy sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, and ginger powder.

    Whisk until smooth for an even marinade.
  2. Marinate the Chicken

    Place chicken breast in a large zip-top bag and pour marinade over it. Seal and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

    For best results, marinate overnight.
  3. Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

    Make sure the grill grates are clean and oiled to prevent sticking.
  4. Grill the Chicken

    Remove chicken from marinade and grill for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until cooked through.

    Use a meat thermometer to ensure internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  5. Serve the Dish

    Remove chicken from the grill, let rest for a few minutes, then slice.

    Sprinkle with sesame seeds for garnish before serving.
