Equipment

• 1 Grill Charcoal is best

Ingredients

  

• 1/2 cup Low sodium Soy Sauce
• 2 tbsp. rice wine vinegar
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 tbsp. brown sugar
• 3/4 tsp ginger fresh grated preferred
• 1/2 tsp garlic fresh minced is best
• 1/4 tsp mustard powder

Instructions

 

• Prepare marinade and set aside.
• Rinse chicken with water and trim excess fat away from thighs and breasts if desired. If using boneless chicken breasts, slice in half so they are thinner.
• Place prepared chicken in plastic bag and marinate between 2-4 hours. Try not to exceed 4 hours or chicken will become too salty.
• You can flip the chicken over in the bag every hour or so, to ensure even coating of the marinade.
• Grill chicken until internal temperature reaches a minimum of 165F.
• For cooking the bone-in chicken, grill on both sides for a few minutes on direct heat.
• After grilling both sides, move away from direct heat and flip every 5-6 minutes until done. Takes roughly 30-40 minutes for bone-in and 15-20 for boneless thighs/breasts.
• Allow to cool a few minutes and serve with your favorite sides. Any vegetable or potato dish will pair excellently.
