1

In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Whisk until smooth and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce sauce by half, stirring occasionally, until thickened and syrupy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.

⏱️ 10 min (ish) 🌡️ medium heat

AI Wisdom: Pro tip: Use a thermometer to ensure sauce has reached 180°F (82°C) for optimal thickening
2

In a large bowl, whisk together cooled sauce, black pepper, and 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Add the chicken pieces and toss to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight, allowing the chicken to marinate.

AI Wisdom: Visual cue: Chicken should be coated in sauce and marinating evenly
3

Preheat grill to medium-high heat (400°F/200°C). Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess liquid drip off. Grill the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through and slightly charred. Brush with vegetable oil during grilling to prevent sticking.

⏱️ 12 min (ish) 🌡️ 400°F

AI Wisdom: Visual cue: Chicken should be slightly charred and cooked through

Transfer the grilled chicken to a serving platter and garnish with thinly sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds.
