Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • ¾ cup hot sauce
  • ¾ cup sweet chili sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1½ Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 4 pieces boneless skinless chicken breasts

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowls
  • Charcoal Chimney Starter
  • Grilling Tongs
  • Cast Iron Grill Pan
  • Meat thermometer

Method
 

  1. Whisk together hot sauce, sweet chili sauce, garlic, and Worcestershire sauce.
  2. Place chicken in a gallon ziplock bag. Lightly pound the chicken with a meat mallet or rolling pin to an even thickness.
  3. Pour marinade over chicken.
  4. Refrigerate chicken for a few hours to overnight.
  5. Remove chicken from marinade and discard marinade.
  6. Prepare grill and grill chicken until done, approximately 12 to 15 minutes, until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165ºF.

Notes

  • Use any cut: You can use this marinade on any cut of chicken – chicken breasts, chicken tenders, chicken thighs, chicken wings, or chicken drumsticks/legs.
  • Adjust cooking time: You can use boneless or bone-in chicken. Adjust the cooking time to ensure an internal temperature of 165ºF.
  • Pound for even cooking: I suggest pounding the chicken breast to an even thickness. This ensures that the chicken cooks evenly.
  • Oven or skillet option: You can pan-sear it for 3 to 4 minutes per side over medium-high heat. Bake at 400ºF for 10 minutes.
  • Freezing: You can freeze the chicken uncooked or cooked. Prepare the marinade, place chicken in a freezer bag and pour the marinade over the chicken.
