Notes

This Asian chicken marinade is versatile and can be used for grilling, stir-frying, or adding to salads.
For a spicier marinade, include chili flakes or sriracha.
If you're watching your sodium intake, opt for low-sodium soy sauce or coconut aminos.
Leftover marinade can be boiled and used as a sauce, but be sure to set some aside before marinating the chicken.
