A flavorful and easy-to-make grilled chicken recipe with a tangy ginger lime marinade.
Prepare your grill by preheating it to medium-high heat.
Ensure the grill is clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
In a large zip-top plastic bag, combine the crushed red pepper flakes, fresh ginger, fresh lime juice, hoisin sauce, low sodium soy sauce, and minced garlic.
Mix the marinade ingredients thoroughly to ensure even flavor distribution.
Add the chicken breasts to the bag, seal it, and massage the marinade into the chicken. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
For deeper flavor, you can marinate the chicken for up to 2 hours.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the used marinade.
Let the chicken sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before grilling to ensure even cooking.
Place the chicken on the preheated grill and cook for about 5 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Avoid flipping the chicken too often to get nice grill marks.
Serve the grilled chicken hot with your choice of sides.
Garnish with fresh lime wedges or chopped cilantro for added freshness.
