Recipe View Remove the grilled chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in more tender and flavorful chicken. (5 minutes)

For a bolder flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of sriracha to the marinade.
If you don't have sherry on hand, you can substitute it with dry white wine or apple cider vinegar.
This marinade also works well with chicken thighs, pork chops, or even tofu.
For a sweeter profile, consider adding a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup to the marinade.
Marinating the chicken for longer than 4 hours intensifies the flavor, but avoid marinating for more than 24 hours, as the soy sauce can start to break down the chicken fibers.
To prevent sticking, ensure the grill grate is clean and well-oiled before grilling the chicken.
