Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time15 minutes
Total Time25 minutes

Ingredients

  • 4 large chicken breasts

Marinade

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 Tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 Tbsp rice vinegar
  • 8 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 Tbsp fresh grated ginger
  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 Tbsp onion powder

Instructions

  • In a 7x11 inch baking dish, combine all of the marinade ingredients.
  • Place the chicken breasts in the marinade, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Make sure you flip the chicken at least once.
  • Remove from the fridge 1 hour before cooking to allow the dish to warm up at room temperature.
  • Preheat the oven to 425˚F. 
  • Bake uncovered for 15-18 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through  and no longer pink. While cooking, spoon the sauce mixture over the chicken so that it picks up more flavour.
  • Once the chicken is cooked, remove from the oven and allow to sit for around 5 minutes before serving.
