Ingredients

For the Sauce

4 cloves garlic, minced Fresh is best for maximum flavor.
1 inch ginger, grated Use fresh ginger for optimal taste.
1/4 cup soy sauce Substitute with tamari for gluten-free.
2 tablespoons honey Adjust sweetness to your preference.
2 tablespoons rice vinegar Add more for tangy flavor.
1 tablespoon sesame oil For added depth of flavor.

Main Ingredients

2 pounds chicken thighs or breasts Thighs are juicier; breasts can be used but be careful not to overcook.

Method

Baked Method

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Whisk all the sauce ingredients together in a bowl.
Place the uncooked chicken pieces in a baking dish and pour the sauce over them, tossing to coat.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is bubbly and caramelized.

Grilled Method

Create a marinade by mixing the sauce ingredients, reserving about 1/4 of it for basting later.
Marinate the chicken pieces for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours) in the remaining sauce.
Preheat your grill to medium-high and thread the marinated chicken onto skewers.
Grill for 4-6 minutes per side, basting with the reserved marinade during the last few minutes of cooking.
