A flavorful and easy-to-make chicken recipe with a delightful Asian-inspired marinade.
In a mixing bowl, combine the sherry, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, honey, Chinese five spice powder, red pepper flakes, and basil.
Mix the marinade thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.
Reserve a small portion of the marinade for basting later.
Keep the reserved marinade in a separate container to avoid cross-contamination.
Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag and pour the remaining marinade over them. Seal the bag and turn it to coat the chicken evenly.
Ensure the chicken is fully coated for maximum flavor.
Refrigerate the chicken for at least 3 hours or overnight for best results.
Marinating overnight enhances the flavor penetration into the chicken.
Preheat your broiler and line a baking sheet with foil.
Lining the baking sheet makes cleanup easier.
Place the marinated chicken on the baking sheet and broil for 3 minutes on one side.
Keep an eye on the chicken to prevent overcooking.
Flip the chicken, baste with the reserved marinade, and broil for another 4-5 minutes or until fully cooked.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the chicken moist.
Serve the chicken with your choice of sides and enjoy!
Garnish with additional fresh basil for a touch of color and flavor.
