Friends we’ve got summer food on the menu nowadays.
This is the easiest and best way to make chicken ever. Like hands down, period. I’m not even joking around with this one. We’ve got great grill marks on the outside and tender, not dry chicken on the inside. And it’s all thanks to a secret little ingredient (thanks mom!) that mom uses when she’s making her famous Persian grilled chicken.
And though this grilled asian chicken can be marinated for a quick 30 minutes and on the grill and ready to eat in no time, I like to marinate it overnight or for around 6-10 hours if/when possible. So if you can toss a bunch of ingredients in a zip top bag and give it a good shake before you head out for work in the morning, you will seriously have the most tender and perfectly cooked grilled chicken of your life with less than 15 minutes of hands on time for dinner.

Ingredients ;
- 1 1/4 – 1 1/2 pounds lean boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1-2 tablespoons sriracha (or sambal oelek or gochujang)
- 1 1/2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons light soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1/2 teaspoon salt + 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
Instructions :
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, sriracha, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, mayonnaise, salt, pepper, and ground ginger until smooth. You can also just add the ingredients into a blender or food processor and just give it a few quick pulses.
- Place the chicken breasts in a large zip top bag. Pour the prepared marinade on top, zip the bag and give it a good shake until the chicken is evenly coated. Allow the chicken to marinate for 30 minutes – 10 hours. Keep in mind that the longer you let the chicken sit in the mayonnaise mixture the more tender and flavorful your chicken will be!
- Preheat an indoor or outdoor grill to medium high heat. Spray the grates with nonstick cooking spray if desired. Place the chicken breasts on the grill, discard any leftover marinade. Cook the chicken breasts for 5-6 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165ºF.
- Serve immediately, garnish with chopped cilantro if desired.
