Instructions

  • Preheat the grill to 400°F (205°C).
  • In a bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 teaspoons honey, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1 clove minced garlic, 1 tablespoon chopped ginger, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, and half of the 1/2 tablespoon white & black sesame seeds until well combined.
  • Place the 2 skin-on chicken breasts in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag, pour the marinade over them, turn to coat both sides, then cover or seal and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the used marinade. Pat the chicken lightly dry with paper towels.
  • Place the chicken on the preheated grill, skin-side down, and cook for 6 minutes. Flip the breasts and cook for another 6 minutes, or until cooked through.
  • Transfer the chicken to plates, sprinkle with the remaining sesame seeds, and garnish with a handful of fresh coriander before serving.
