Grilled Soy and Sake Chicken Breasts

By , About.com Guide

Sake is not only fun to drink, but it works really well in a marinade. The flavor from the sake won't overpower the chicken, but will enhance the flavor and help the soy sauce and ginger work it's way into the meat.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 12 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 4 large chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
  • 3 tablespoons sake
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 clove garlic, minced

Preparation:

Place chicken in a glass dish. Remove excess fat from chicken breasts. Combine sake, oil, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, and soy sauce in a small bowl. Pour mixture of chicken, cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes. Preheat grill for medium-high heat. Place chicken on a well oiled grill grate, making sure to reserve marinade. Baste with reserved marinade and cook for 6 minutes. Turn chicken, baste, and allow to cook for another 6 minutes. When juices run clear, remove chicken from grill and serve.
