Baked Marinated Asian Chicken

Step 1

Mix all ingredients for the marinade together in a bowl or a Ziploc bag. Add the chicken breasts and cover with the marinade. Marinate in a fridge for at least 30 minutes and up 24 hours. The longer the better.

Step 2

Preheat oven to 375F.

Step 3

Place the chicken breasts together with the marinade in a baking dish. Bake at 375F for about 35 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 160°F. Baste the chicken with the marinade and the juices a couple of times during the bake to prevent tops from drying out.

Step 4

If you want the tops nicely crisped up and browned, turn on the broiler on high for a couple of minutes at the end of the bake, just before the chicken breasts hit 160F internal temperature. Make sure to keep a close eye on the chicken during broiling to prevent burning.

Step 5

Remove the baked chicken breasts from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
