Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha sauce (optional)

Directions

  5. Remove chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your flavorful Asian grilled chicken!
