Sweet & Spicy Grilled Sticky Chicken





Ingredients


2-3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1/2 C. soy sauce

1/3 C. Brown Sugar

1/4 C. honey

2 tsp. garlic powder

2 tsp. ground ginger

2 tsp. onion powder

2 tbsp. hot sauce (any variety)

1/4 tsp. pepper

2 tsp. cornstarch


Directions


1) Cut chicken into 6-8 smaller pieces. Place chicken in an airtight container and set aside.

2) Combine remaining ingredients (except cornstarch!) in a 2 cup measuring cup and whisk until smooth. Microwave for 3 minutes. Sauce will boil and reduce slightly. Pour half into the container with the chicken. Let marinate for 2-4 hours.

3) Take 2 Tbsp of sauce from the measuring cup and combine with the cornstarch in a small bowl. Stir until smooth, then whisk back into the measuring cup with remaining  sauce. Microwave  an additional 2 minutes. Set aside until ready to grill.

4) Grill chicken over medium heat, coating  sauce on each side as you cook. Chicken will be done when the internal temp reaches 165 degrees. If you can reserve a small amount of sauce to brush on chicken right after it is taken off the grill for a nice glazed look.
