the best chicken recipe ever!

ok, i made this last nite so i figured i should share. it's an old family classic that everyone LOVES when they try it for the first time. a couple years ago our small group went on a camping trip for mother's day weekend, and this was one of the things we grilled at our campsite. one of our friends, upon tasting the chicken, declared that it was "sexy chicken"...and so the name has stuck, at least in OUR house.

SEXY CHICKEN

1 package boneless skinless chicken breasts
4 Tbsp. oil
4 Tbsp. soy sauce
2 Tbsp. lemon juice
2 Tbsp. honey
2 cloves minced garlic
1 tsp. dried basil leaves
3 whole cloves
1 dash of pepper

DIRECTIONS:
Cut chicken into finger-type strips about 1 inch wide. This marinade is enough for 3-4 chicken breasts, so multiply proportions as needed. You can marinate for as little as a couple hours, but the longer the meat sits in this mixture the more flavorful and moist it will be. Letting it sit overnight is really the best. Cook the chicken on low heat (gas grill) about 3 minutes per side, twice. Cook until chicken does not feel limp anymore. If you are using a charcoal grill, you have to move things faster and keep the meat as high off the flame as possible to avoid burning it.

NOTE:
This recipe has been done in the oven and it does NOT come out the same. However, I just did this recipe last nite on the George Foreman grill and it was just as good as it is on the real grill. I also used breast tenderloins that were sliced very thin, so they cooked within a couple minutes and weren't dry at all! They barely marinated for 5-10 minutes, but since they were thin the flavor was still good. So you have options on the meat if you don't feel like cutting chicken tenders or don't have the time!

ENJOY!!!!
