Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground ginger
  • 2 tablespoons garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon corn starch
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 pound chicken breasts or thighs pounded thin or butterflied

Instructions

  • Add all of the sauce ingredients to a small sauce pan over low heat and whisk to combine. Cook over low heat, stirring often, for 10 minutes. The sauce will thicken up considerably. (You can thin it with a bit of water or soy sauce, as needed.)
  • Preheat a grill to 400 degrees.
  • Season the chicken with a bit of salt and pepper and place on the grill.
  • Brush the sauce on the top of each piece of chicken.
  • After 4 minutes, brush the chicken with more sauce and flip it over.
  • Brush more sauce on the chicken and cook for 4 more minutes, brushing on sauce again before removing from the grill.
