For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a tablespoon of finely grated fresh ginger to the marinade. If you don't have an outdoor grill, you can cook the chicken in a grill pan on the stovetop or bake it in the oven at 375°F (190°C) until cooked through. Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to suit your spice preference. Leftover grilled chicken is excellent in salads, tacos, or sandwiches.
