Steps:
- In a bowl, mix everything together (except the chicken) to form a marinade.
- Add the chicken and coat well. Let it marinate for at least 2 hours—overnight is even better.
- Grill over medium-high heat until golden, crispy, and cooked through (about 5–7 min per side).
- Serve with jasmine rice, pickled veggies, and a little extra Hot Garlic on the side.
This one hits every time—sweet, salty, garlicky, with that signature Mama Teav’s kick.
