A honey-ginger marinade with a hint of lime gives the chicken a flavor boost while also serving as a tenderizer. The marinade has a sesame oil base which adds a toasted and nutty flavor. We used a zip-close plastic bag to marinate the chicken in for easy clean-up. After grilling the chicken, serve it with the vibrant slaw mixture that includes radishes, carrots, cucumber, cilantro, and mint.
