• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
• ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes

Instructions

1. Start by marinating the chicken. In a bowl, combine the orange juice, orange zest, soy sauce, minced garlic, honey, grated ginger, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.
2. Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
3. Preheat the grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and shake off any excess.
4. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is cooked through.
5. While grilling, baste the chicken with the leftover marinade to infuse it with even more flavor.
6. Once done, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
