**Ingredients:**
– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1/4 cup soy sauce
– 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 tablespoons honey
– 1 tablespoon sesame oil
– 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Sliced green onions and sesame seeds for garnish
**Instructions:**
1. Start by pounding the chicken breasts to an even thickness using a meat mallet. This will help the chicken cook evenly on the grill.
2. In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, honey, sesame oil, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
3. Place the pounded chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the chicken is coated evenly. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or ideally up to 4 hours for best flavor.
4. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
5. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
6. Place the chicken on the preheated grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is nicely charred and cooked through.
7. Once the chicken is done, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
8. Garnish your Ginger Grilled Chicken with sliced green onions and sesame seeds for an extra pop of flavor and visual appeal.
9. Serve the chicken hot with your favorite side dishes like rice, grilled vegetables, or a fresh salad.
