Grilled Vietnamese Chicken

Total Time: 30 mins Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons fish sauce
• 2 tablespoons molasses
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon dark sesame oil
• 2 teaspoons black pepper (i use red pepper flakes and it was very good)
• 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (thighs would work well too)

Recipe

• 1 heat grill.
• 2 place all the ingredients except the chicken in a shallow glass baking dish and stir them together.
• 3 make shallow slits across the chicken breast, going a little deeper in the thick end.
• 4 make shallow slits long ways, resulting in a slight diamond pattern in the meat.
• 5 put the chicken in the marinade and make sure some gets in the slits.
• 6 this only needs to marinade for 10 or 15 minutes to pick up the flavor, i believe this is because of the slits.
• 7 place on grill and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, until no longer pink.
• 8 turn once during cooking.
