Date & Ginger Sticky Chicken

Marinade In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, grated ginger, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes. Mix well.

Marinating the Chicken Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, making sure they are fully coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.

Making the Glaze In a blender or food processor, blend the pitted dates, water, rice vinegar, soy sauce, honey, and grated ginger until smooth.

Grilling the Chicken Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the excess marinade. Cook the chicken for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until cooked through and the juices run clear.

Glazing the Chicken During the last few minutes of cooking, brush the chicken with the date and ginger glaze, flipping and brushing on both sides. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes per side, or until the glaze is sticky and caramelized.

Garnishing Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish.

Serve Serve the Date & Ginger Sticky Chicken hot with steamed rice or your favorite side dishes. Enjoy!
