Sweet Chili Chicken
This Sweet Chili Chicken is a delicious yet super simple midweek meal. I make this at least once a week. It is so versatile too. Sometimes I serve it with rice. If I am feeling less hungry, I make a fresh green salad to accompany the chicken. As I like a bit of heat in my food so I use a very hot chili sauce, but you can use your favorite chili sauce.
Start by making a glaze from chili sauce, honey and olive oil. Season and glaze the chicken. Cook the chicken on a hot grill pan. Grill for about 8 minutes on one side before turning each breast and finishing off by cooking the skin. I like to serve my chili chicken with lime wedges to give it a citrus zing.
To make the Sweet Chili Chicken, you will need the following ingredients:
Steps to make Sweet Chili Chicken
1 | Preheat grill | 5 |
Heat your grill to high. | ||
2 | Make glaze | 1 |
Combine 3-4 tablespoons of chili sauce, 2 tablespoons of clear honey and 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large bowl. | ||
3 | Season chicken | 2 |
Take a sharp knife and slice 3-4 slits across the skin of each chicken breast. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Lift the skin on each breast and smear crushed garlic under each. | ||
4 | Glaze chicken | 2 |
Dunk the underside of each chicken breast into the glaze until each one is evenly coated. Save the remainder of the glaze for later. | ||
5 | Cook the chicken | 8 |
Place the chicken on the grill pan, glazed side up. Cook for about 8 minutes until sticky and golden. | ||
6 | Turn and finish cooking | 7 |
Turn each of the chicken breasts over. Brush the skin with the reserved glaze and cook for 6-8 more minutes until the chicken is cooked through and feels quite firm. | ||
7 | Serve | |
Serve immediately with lime wedges. | ||

Too spicy for my poor tastebuds i think I'll stick to the tandoori roast hahaha!!
Not my kinda chicken it was way too bland tasting and the only thing giving it flavor was the hot chili sauce, needs more spices and less sauces.
Better than the chinese teriyaki and much more sour too.

Freshly squeezed lemon on the top really does this trick for this one in my opinion.
I'm actually very pleased that this is so affordable, please make more recipes with little to no ingriedents for us poor people lol.
I made this but halved the ingridents.
What's the stuff on top of your chicken in the picture? It looks like some kinda berries and I definetely want to try it out.
Yummy chili chicken sweet and savoury is the best combo.
Why the honey does it make it slightly sweet atleast?
