Many people are unsure how to cook BBQ chicken but with this recipe you cannot go wrong. Soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger are used as a marinade for the chicken.

After that, you simply grill the chicken for four or five minutes on each side over a medium heat. You might want to boil the chicken in hot water for a couple of minutes before grilling them, just to ensure the inside is cooked properly.
