Sweet and Spicy Grilled Sticky Chicken
Sweet and Spicy Grilled Sticky Chicken
"This Grilled Sticky Chicken recipe uses a tangy chicken marinate with a nice kick of spice and flavor! The sauce is easy to make and results in a sticky glaze on top tender, juicy grilled chicken. This recipe is fantastic- the sauce is flavorful with a bit of a kick and I love how easy it is to make. We served it with grilled pineapple and asparagus and a side of steamed rice. Anyone want to come over for dinner?!"
Serves6
Preparation Time15 min
Cooking Time15 min
Ingredients
- 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup soy sauce
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup honey
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 2 tablespoons Frank's hot sauce, any variety
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
-
Cut chicken into 6-8 smaller pieces (it grills faster and you can coat more sauce on the chicken when it's in smaller pieces.) Place chicken in an airtight container and set aside.
-
Combine remaining ingredients (except for the cornstarch!) in a 2-cup measuring cup and whisk until smooth. Microwave for 3 minutes. Sauce will boil and reduce slightly. Pour half into the container with the chicken. Let marinate for 2-4 hours.
-
Take 2 TBSP of sauce from the measuring cup and combine with the cornstarch in a small bowl. Stir until smooth, then whisk back into the measuring cup with remaining sauce. Microwave an additional 2 minutes. Set aside until it's time to grill.
-
Grill chicken over medium heat, coating sauce on each side as you cook. Chicken will be done with the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F. I reserved a small amount of sauce to brush on right after it was taken off the grill to give it a nice glazed look.
-
If you grill pineapple, only brush a small amount of sauce on as it's fairly strong. You don't want to overpower the taste of the pineapple.
