A delightful twist on a classic barbecue chicken recipe, featuring a sweet and savory honey sesame glaze.
In a mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, black pepper, and sesame oil.
Mix the marinade thoroughly to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.
Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Marinating overnight will enhance the flavor penetration into the chicken.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting the excess drip off.
Oil the grill grates to prevent the chicken from sticking.
Grill the chicken for 6-8 minutes per side, basting occasionally with the reserved marinade, until fully cooked.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Transfer the grilled chicken to a serving platter and garnish with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving to retain its juices.
