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