This Grilled Asian Chicken is perfect for any weeknight meal. We recommend adding slices of this chicken to the Spicy Peanut Noodles recipe. While this recipe is ideal for the backyard grill, it can be made indoors with a grill pan as well.
Grilled Asian Chicken
Author: Chef Loren
Recipe type: Main Course
Cuisine: Asian
Ingredients
- 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breast (or any other cut of chicken)
- Asian Rub
- 1 tbsp Black Pepper
- 1 tbsp Curry Powder
- 1 tbsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp Salt (Kosher)
- 2 tsp Aleppo Pepper
- 2 tsp Five Spice Powder
- Asian Sauce
- 4 tbsp Hoisin Sauce
- 3 tbsp Soy Sauce
- 2 tbsp Sesame Oil
- 2 tbsp Rice Wine Vinegar
- 2 tbsp Mirin (Sweet Cooking Wine, can also use Sake)
- 2 tsp Black Pepper
- 1 tbsp Chili Garlic Paste (or Sirracha)
- 1 tsp Honey
Instructions
- Whisk together black pepper, curry powder, garlic powder, salt, Aleppo pepper, and five spice. Aggressively coat chicken breasts and let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before grilling.
- Preheat grill on high heat.
- Cook chicken until cooked through. Cooking time will depend on type and thickness of chicken.
- For the sauce, whisk together hoisin sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice wine vinegar, mirin, black pepper, chili garlic paste, and honey.
- When chicken is 75% done, brush sauce onto each piece of chicken. Let stand for 90 seconds before flipping piece over and glazing the other side with the sauce. You can glaze each piece as many times as desired, though our experience suggests coating each piece three times produces best results.
- If desired, sauce can be served on the side.
- Serve and enjoy!
