GRILLED CHICKEN BREAST WITH GINGER AND SOY
Steps:
- Combine the 1 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons sesame oil, half of the lime juice, ginger, and garlic, and 1/4 cup cilantro in the bottom of each of 2 large freezer bags. Put 2 chicken breasts in each bag and get them coated with the marinade. Then set the bags on a work surface, force the air out and seal them. Allow chicken to marinade for 1 hour. You can also freeze the chicken right in the marinade at this point. To do so fold each bag over the chicken 3 times, tape them well, and date them. Put it in the freezer for up to 2 months.
- Place a large grill pan on 2 burners over medium-high heat, or preheat an outdoor gas or charcoal grill. Fold a few paper towels into a thick square. Blot some oil on the paper towels and then carefully and quickly wipe the ridges of the gill pan or the hot grates of the grill to make a non-stick surface.
- Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade and season with salt and pepper. Lay the chicken on the hot grill and cook 3 to 5 minutes on each side until charred and firm. Serve with the sesame noodles and cucumber pickles.
DIRTY P'S GARLIC-GINGER CHICKEN THIGHS
Steps:
- Combine the chicken, onion, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, juice and 1 teaspoon pepper in a large resealable plastic bag. Seal and shake to coat the chicken with the marinade. Refrigerate 1 hour or overnight.
- Preheat a grill to medium high and oil the grate. Grill the chicken skin-side down until marked, 5 to 6 minutes. Flip and continue to grill until cooked through, about 5 more minutes. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
GINGERY GRILLED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH CHARRED PEACHES
Coated in a balsamic vinegar glaze that's spiked with ginger, garlic and soy sauce, these chicken thighs are sweet-tart and irresistibly sticky. They're served with grilled thyme and honey butter-basted peaches, which become soft and wonderfully jammy on the fire. The yogurt is optional. It adds a cool and creamy counterpart to the char and smoke, but the dish is just as satisfying without it.

Steps:
- Marinate the chicken: In a small bowl, mix together balsamic vinegar, grated ginger and a pinch of salt.
- Season chicken all over with salt, and put it in a larger bowl or resealable bag. Add 2 tablespoons of the balsamic mixture. (Give it a stir before measuring in case any of the ginger has fallen to the bottom. Save remaining balsamic for serving.) Add the thyme, garlic, soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon lime juice. Cover bowl or close bag, and let chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
- Light the grill or heat the broiler, arranging the rack about 4 inches from the heat source.
- Prepare the peaches: In a bowl, combine butter, thyme and honey. Brush peaches lightly with butter mixture and place in a grilling basket, if you have one, or directly on the grill. Grill over direct heat until just charred, 2 to 4 minutes per side. You'll know they are done when the skin curls back and the flesh starts to melt. Transfer to a serving platter or plates, and, if you like, drizzle with a little more of the butter mixture and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
- If there's room on the grill, cook the chicken at the same time (or wait until peaches are done). Brush off any clinging pieces of marinade from chicken, pat it dry, and coat lightly with oil. Grill or broil until charred and browned, 4 to 6 minutes per side.
- Transfer chicken to a platter or serving plates, along with the peaches. Serve with dollops of yogurt on the side if you like, and a drizzle with some of the remaining gingery balsamic and a little more olive oil. Scatter with scallions and basil, if using, for garnish.

Steps:
- Mix together the soy sauce, sake, ginger, garlic, tobanjan, brown sugar, and salt in a bowl to make the marinade. Pour three-fourths of the marinade into a baking dish or rimmed sheet pan; reserve the rest. Lay the chicken in the marinade and flip the halves four times to generously coat all over. Use a rubber spatula or your hands to make sure all the crevices are well coated. Marinate the chicken halves for 10 minutes, turning once.
- Preheat a grill to medium. Grill the chicken, covered, for about 35 minutes. Start by grilling skin side down for about two minutes. Flip the chicken and brush on the reserved marinade.
- Flip the chicken about every seven minutes, brushing on more marinade after each turn. The chickens are done when very juicy with meat pulling away from the bone. Rest the chicken for five minutes, cut into serving pieces, and serve.
GRILLED GINGER CHICKEN WINGS
I "bribed" one of my students to watch his Cambodian grandma make these and write everything down. These are just like what she made! If you don't like ginger, don't make these. Prep time doesn't include marinating.

Tips:
- Use fresh ginger and garlic: Fresh ginger and garlic have a more intense flavor than ground or powdered spices. If you don't have fresh ginger or garlic on hand, you can substitute 1 teaspoon of ground ginger or garlic powder for each tablespoon of fresh ginger or garlic called for in the recipe.
- Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes: This will help the chicken absorb the flavors of the marinade and make it more tender. If you don't have time to marinate the chicken for 30 minutes, you can marinate it for as little as 15 minutes.
- Grill the chicken over medium heat: This will help prevent the chicken from burning. If you grill the chicken over high heat, it will cook too quickly and the inside will be undercooked.
- Cook the chicken until it is cooked through: The internal temperature of the chicken should be 165 degrees Fahrenheit. You can check the internal temperature of the chicken with a meat thermometer.
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving: This will help the chicken retain its juices and make it more tender.
Conclusion:
This ginger garlic grilled chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make recipe that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The chicken is marinated in a flavorful mixture of ginger, garlic, soy sauce, and honey, then grilled until cooked through. The result is a tender, juicy, and flavorful chicken that is sure to please everyone at the table.
