Grilled Chicken Breasts - 1 Recipe - Cooking Index
4 | Chicken breasts - boned and halved | |
1 tablespoon | 15ml | Brown sugar |
1 teaspoon | 5ml | Basil leaves - dried |
4 tablespoons | 60ml | Peanut oil |
3 | Cloves | |
4 tablespoons | 60ml | Soy sauce |
1 | Pepper | |
2 tablespoons | 30ml | Lemon juice |
Prepare the marinade by combining the peanut oil, soy sauce, lemon juice and brown sugar. Place the chicken breasts in a single layer in a glass dish.
Sprinkle with garlic, pepper, basil leaves and cloves. Pour the marinade over the chicken breasts. Let stand refrigerated for at least 4 hours (the longer the better), turning the breasts over from time to time.
Preheat the grill - it is ready when ALL the coals have a THICK and EVEN coating of gray ash.
Place the chicken breasts on the grill a few at a time. Baste with marinade.
Grill five minutes on the first side. Turn over and grill the other side until the chicken is fork tender and juices run clear when pierced with a fork (the chicken should be lightly browned) (5-9 minutes).
DON'T OVERCOOK!
Serve with chutney, cooked rice and a green salad.
