Instructions

  • In a large measuring cup, or jar, whisk together all of the dressing ingredients until well combined.
    1/4  Cup Onion, 1/2 Cup Peanut Oil, 1/4 Cup Rice Vinegar, 2 Tablespoons Water, 2 Tablespoons Ginger, 1 Tablespoon Carrot, 2 Tablespoons Ketchup, 4 teaspoons Light Soy Sauce, 1 teaspoon Sugar, 1 teaspoon Brown Sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoon Lemon Juice, 1 Clove Garlic, 1/2 teaspoon Salt, 1/4 teaspoon Pepper
  • Pour 2/3 of the marinade into a zip top bag along with the chicken breasts. Seal and place in the fridge for 2- 24 hours. We prefer a longer marinade time.
    4 Chicken Breasts
  • Place the remaining marinade in a bowl in the fridge.
  • Heat the grill to high heat.
  • Remove the chicken from the fridge to rest on the counter for 5 minutes.
  • Drain the marinade and place the chicken, top side down on the grill. Turn the heat to medium.
  • Cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes, flip over and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes or until cooked through. The last few minutes brush some of the reserved marinade over each chicken breast.
  • Remove from the grill and let rest for 3-5 minutes before slicing.
