Step-by-Step Instructions for Sweet Chili Chicken Marinade
- In a large zip-style bag, combine the sweet chili sauce, low-sodium soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, corn oil, lime juice, minced garlic, and minced fresh ginger. Seal the bag and vigorously massage it to ensure all ingredients are well mixed.
- Flatten the boneless skinless chicken breasts for even marination by placing each piece between two sheets of parchment paper and gently pounding them with a meat mallet until they are about 1-inch thick.
- Add the flattened chicken breasts into the zip-style bag with the marinade. Seal the bag, removing excess air, and turn it gently to coat the chicken thoroughly in the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, ideally up to 24 hours.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F) or medium heat for charcoal about 15-20 minutes before grilling.
- Place the marinated chicken breasts on the grill grates and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, flipping halfway through. Baste with reserved marinade during the last few minutes of cooking.
- Check the internal temperature of the chicken using a meat thermometer, ensuring it reaches at least 165°F for food safety.
- Allow the grilled chicken to rest for about 5 minutes before slicing and serving with vegetables or jasmine rice.

Notes
Allow marinating longer for optimal flavor. Reserve marinade before adding chicken to make a sauce if desired. Monitor grill heat for best results.
