Ingredients

Method

1
Combine maple syrup, corn oil, minced garlic, ginger, and freshly ground black pepper in a mixing bowl to create the marinade.
2
Place chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring all pieces are well coated.
3
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours, to allow the flavors to penetrate the chicken.

Remove the chicken from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before cooking.
