Instructions
- Prep Marinade: Add sugar to a large ziplock plastic bag and then add lime juice and fish sauce. Massage the bag with your hand to dissolve the sugar. Add garlic and cilantro and mix more.
- Marinate Chicken: Add chicken breast halves to the bag, seal, and then use your hands to mix the chicken in the marinade. Store in the fridge to marinate for at least 1 hour and up to 24.
- Grill: Pre-heat grill. Remove chicken from the bag and cook on a grill (or in a grill pan on medium-high heat) for about 3-4 minutes per side (dependent upon the thickness of the chicken), baste the chicken with the marinade every 60-90 seconds. Cook until the chicken is cooked through and has an internal temperature of at least 165 degrees.
- Serve and Enjoy!

- Garlic: You can use 1 teaspoon of garlic powder for 4 cloves, or 1 1/4 for 5 cloves.
- Fish Sauce: You can use oyster sauce, although the flavor is a bit muted in comparison. We suggest if using oyster sauce, add 2 tablespoons of vinegar, as well.
- Cilantro: Use 1 tablespoon dried for the 1/2 bunch fresh.

- You can absolutely bake this chicken instead of the grill. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and add chicken to a baking dish. Baste with some of the marinade, but don't pour excess into the dish. Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the dish. Bake for 35 minutes or until the internal temp of the thickest part of the chicken reaches 165 degrees F.
