Ingredients
Scale
2 pounds chicken tenders
1 cup gluten-free soy sauce
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup rice vinegar
1 tablespoon sesame oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (for garnish)
1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes (if using) until well combined.
Add the chicken tenders to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.
Preheat your grill or oven broiler to medium-high heat.
Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Reserve the marinade for basting.
Grill the chicken tenders for about 4-5 minutes on each side, basting with the reserved marinade, until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice glaze. If using the broiler, place the chicken on a baking sheet and broil for 4-5 minutes on each side, basting as needed.
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes.
Garnish with chopped cilantro and sesame seeds before serving.
Notes
For a spicier kick, add more red pepper flakes or a dash of sriracha to the marinade.
Serve with a side of jasmine rice or a fresh cucumber salad for a complete meal.
