Description

This simple yet flavorful dish features tender boneless chicken breasts marinated in a punchy blend of dark soy sauce, Dijon mustard, fresh lemon juice, and a hint of heat from Tabasco. The sesame oil adds a nutty depth, while the marinade creates a beautiful char on the grill. It&# 226;ÂÂs a perfect weeknight dinner that balances savory, tangy, and slightly spicy notes. The skin crisps up beautifully, offering a textural contrast to the juicy meat inside. Serve with rice, noodles, or roasted vegetables for a complete meal. ItâÂÂs quick to prepare, requires minimal ingredients, and delivers restaurant-quality results at home.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the dark soy sauce, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, sesame oil, and Tabasco sauce until well combined.
  2. Rinse the chicken breasts and pat them thoroughly dry with paper towels.
  3. Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag.
  4. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each breast is evenly coated on both sides.
  5. Cover the dish with cling film or seal the bag, removing as much air as possible.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, for maximum flavor penetration.
  7. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
  8. Remove the chicken from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes. Discard any excess marinade.
  9. Place the chicken breasts on the grill, skin-side down first if you prefer crispier skin, or meat-side down to start cooking the thickest part.
  10. Grill for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165ðF (74ðC) and the juices run clear.
  11. Transfer the grilled chicken to a plate, tent loosely with foil, and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
