Grilled Vietnamese Chicken

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

1. 1

   Heat grill.

2. 2

   Place all the ingredients except the chicken in a shallow glass baking dish and stir them together.

3. 3

   Make shallow slits across the chicken breast, going a little deeper in the thick end.

4. 4

   Make shallow slits long ways, resulting in a slight diamond pattern in the meat.

5. 5

   Put the chicken in the marinade and make sure some gets in the slits.

6. 6

   This only needs to marinade for 10 or 15 minutes to pick up the flavor, I beleive this is because of the slits.

7. 7

   Place on grill and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, until no longer pink.

8. 8

   Turn once during cooking.
