Simple Asian-Style Grilled Chicken with Oriental Sauce

Asian-style grilled chicken is loved for its bold flavour, juicy texture, and beautifully caramelised finish. This simple recipe lets you recreate that restaurant-style grilled chicken at home with minimal preparation and great results.

Using Oriental Sauce, the chicken absorbs rich flavour during marination and develops a glossy, savoury coating when grilled. It’s an easy and reliable recipe that works perfectly for daily meals, BBQs, or family dinners.
