Soy Glazed Grilled Chicken Bánh Mì

Recipes Main Courses Quick Meals
'Gà Nướng' means grilled chicken. The secret to Vietnamese marinades is the 'three S's': Soy, Sugar/Honey, and Spices (like five spice or lemongrass). Sugar caramelizes on the grill grate, creating that sticky, smoky, dark brown coating everyone loves. This modern street food brings charcoal grill vibes.

Instructions

1 ✓

Cut chicken into thin, palm-sized cutlets (like for schnitzel).

Tip: Thin slices cook faster so they don't dry out.
2 ✓

Mix marinade: soy sauce, sesame oil, crushed garlic, grated ginger, and juice of half a lime. Toss chicken in and sit for 20-30 minutes.

Tip: Soy sauce salts and tenderizes fibers; sugar (if adding a pinch) helps browning.
3 ✓

Heat grill pan until smoking. Grill chicken 3-4 minutes per side until dark brown grill marks appear.

Tip: Don't move chicken while cooking, let the 'crust' form (Maillard reaction).
4 ✓

Rest chicken 5 minutes on board before slicing into strips.

Tip: Keeps juices inside instead of flowing out.
5 ✓

Assemble sandwich: toasted baguette, mayo, grilled meat, veggies (carrot, scallion), cilantro, and remaining lime juice.

Tip: Warm grilled meat releases cilantro aroma.

Recipe FAQ

Can I use chicken thighs?
Absolutely! Boneless chicken thigh fillet is juicier and harder to dry out on the grill than breast.
