Grilled chicken is often chosen as a side dish enjoyed with warm white rice and various types of vegetables. Many restaurants and eateries sell it. However, when it comes to making it yourself at home, not a few will think twice. Behind the deliciousness of grilled chicken, there are quite significant challenges in the process of making it.
Cooking grilled chicken cannot be done instantly, it requires thorough preparation and quite a long time. Starting from the marinating process that takes time to ensure the spices are perfectly absorbed, to the grilling stage that must be done carefully so that the chicken is evenly cooked and does not burn.
In addition, the ingredients used are also quite a lot. In fact, if you know the trick, you can make grilled chicken in a more practical and faster way, you know. An Instagram user @sartikaayuas once shared a trick for making grilled chicken that saves time and ingredients. To produce delicious grilled chicken, the Instagram user admitted that he only needed three kitchen spices.
As reported by BrilioFood from Instagram @sartikaayuas on Monday (7/10), the spices in question are soy sauce, brown sugar, and instant marinade. So, these three spices will be used to marinate the chicken so that it is perfectly cooked. In addition, these spices also make the grilled chicken taste more legit.

For further steps, put 4-6 pieces of chicken that have been washed clean into a frying pan or pot. Then sprinkle with a packet of instant marinade. Also add soy sauce and 30 grams of brown sugar. Add water until the chicken is submerged and stir until all ingredients are evenly mixed.

Once done, cover the pan and cook until the spices are absorbed and the chicken is cooked. Now, the marinated chicken can be grilled directly on a teflon pan. However, Instagram user @sartikaayuas chose to store it in the refrigerator first so that the spices can be absorbed further.

To make it more delicious, she also uses a basting seasoning made from the water left over from boiling the chicken and added margarine and white pepper powder. While grilling on a teflon, brush the seasoning onto the grilled chicken. Then grill it briefly until it browns. That way, the grilled chicken is ready to eat. "This basting is actually optional, it's also delicious without it, I've done it before," said Instagram @sartikaayuas.
