Instructions
 

Grilled Chicken

  • Place chicken in a ziploc bag or bowl, and pour over the marinade. Let rest in the fridge for 1-2 hours.
  • Grill chicken pieces over medium high heat, turning occasionally. Use a meat thermometer to make sure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165*
  • Remove to a serving platter and let rest for about 10 minutes.
  • Serve with Sweet + Spicy Dipping Sauce.

Sweet + Spicy Dipping Sauce

  • Mix all ingredients except Sriracha in a saucepan and stir to dissolve the sugar.
