ingredients
- 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)
directions
- Heat grill.
- Place all the ingredients except the chicken in a shallow glass baking dish and stir them together.
- Make shallow slits across the chicken breast, going a little deeper in the thick end.
- Make shallow slits long ways, resulting in a slight diamond pattern in the meat.
- Put the chicken in the marinade and make sure some gets in the slits.
- This only needs to marinade for 10 or 15 minutes to pick up the flavor, I believe this is because of the slits.
- Place on grill and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, until no longer pink.
- Turn once during cooking.

I used chicken legs & wings, because that's what I had. I made a few changes; I used honey instead of the molasses & oyster sauce rather than the fish sauce. I also added grated ginger. I used 1/2 red pepper flakes & 1/2 black pepper. We all thought the chicken was wonderful!! We ate it with grilled corn & a crunchy ramen noodle salad
