Reviews
I liked this more than I thought I would, given the 2 ingredients. I’m glad I used low-sodium soy sauce, as this would have been too salty. It was missing some depth of flavor, but given how simple it was, I could overlook that. I served it with some chili crisp for some added flavor. Do not grill for 10-15 minutes PER SIDE as the chicken will be dry and overcooked. Start at 5 minutes per side and take the temp to be safe. This would be good on a salad or as part of another dish, but on its own, it’s just average.
Excellent base! You can adjust the garlic according to your taste. I also added some grated ginger, added water to the soy sauce so it wasn’t so salty (you can decrease the soy sauce as well and then add water) then added in a bit of lemon juice and honey. Pounded out the chicken breasts a bit with a meat mallet before marinating and grilled on my George Foreman afterwards. Absolutely to die for!
Has a wonderful taste! Doesn’t take long to marinade. I’m definitely doing this again!
Easy marinade but I will probably brine my chicken next time as well to retain a bit more moisture.
I used a ziploc bag for the marinade, and I also added a dash of ginger powder and a dash of chili powder. Since I don’t have a grill I used a skillet instead, and it turned out pretty well!
Literally BOMB!!! Add a tablespoon of olive oil to the marinade and let it sit for an hour. I’m impressed at how amazing it is!
I will make it again. My husband thought it complemented the fried rice great. I did not change anything except to halve the amounts since I only cooked two chicken breasts.
Everyone in my family loved this main dish. It will definitely be on the meal rotation. I did use reduced sodium soy sauce. The only change.
Very easy to make, I love the outdoor grill as the cooking method, and the taste was amazing! Made a few modifications so no 5* but this is a definite make!
I was out of fresh garlic so I substituted jarred garlic. I also marinated the ingredients in a zip lock bag and shook it to combine. The chicken was moist and very flavorful. My family and I loved it and will be making it again.
Chicken was delicious! I also went with one of the other reviewers suggestion of a TBSP of Ginger and brown sugar. The kids loved it (fairly picky eaters), my wife loved it (VERY picky eater). I’ll use this one again. Good stuff! And quick!
We really liked it! My only suggestion is don’t marinate longer than they tell you. If you do it will be rubbery. If you do exactly as they tell you it is prefect! I used natural soy with no preservatives. This is a keeper, easy, simple and supper quick!
Soy & Garlic Marinated Chicken Haiku: “Good, not outstanding. It tasted just like its name, it’s soy and garlic.” Not mind-blowing, but super-easy to throw together, and resulted in a tasty chicken. With several ingredient additions, as many reviewers have done, the recipe becomes entirely different; as written, it’s simple and good.
So i went by the recipe and then add a pinch of rosemary an tyme and salt pepper and brown sugar and half cup water in ziplock beg with chicken legs
It needs to marinate for longer than an hour. Would probably let it sit for at least four hours next time.
I have been searching for easy chicken recipes since I’m not that great at cooking chicken but even I couldn’t mess this up. My husband and children loved it! I used half a bottle of soy sauce and tripled the garlic since I doubled the amount of chicken. I will be using others advice in the future such as peircing the chicken and adding brown sugar. Next time I try it in the oven!
I use this for broiling chicken wings. I can see where this might be bland on a larger piece of chicken, but it’s perfect for wings. The only addition is that I sprinkle sesame seeds on it prior to broiling.
This was pretty nice. I’ve only made marinated recipes a few times, and usually found the flavor too mild, so for this recipe “at least an hour” meant about 5 hours marinating time for me. Also, I used a countertop grill instead of an outdoor one, and I found that a cooking time of 17 minutes per side was necessary in order to cook the chicken well enough. When I drained the marinade, I sieved out the minced garlic and put it back on top of the chicken, because I love garlic. This is a simple recipe, but it was quite tasty anyway.
I find that soy as a marinade always dries chicken out.
it was so so so so so salty i followed it exactly i dont know why others didnt say so
This was very good! I took some advise from others and added oil and brown sugar and marinated it in a ziplock bag. Also, I didn’t have fresh garlic so I used dry minced garlic, and it still turned out great. I baked it in the juices at 350 for 30 mins, turning once. I will definitely be making this again! Thanks for a great recipe!
