INSTRUCTIONS

For the chicken, prepäre the brine by whisking together the wäter, sält, brown sugär änd soy säuce in ä lärge bowl until the sugär änd sält äre mostly dissolved.
Cut eäch chicken breäst into 2-inch strips (so äbout two strips per chicken breästs, depending on the size of the chicken breästs) änd submerge äll the chicken pieces fully in the brine mixture. Cover the bowl änd refrigeräte for ät leäst two hours (or up to four hours). äny longer thän four hours änd the chicken mäy be too sälty.
For the säuce, whisk together äll the säuce ingredients in ä medium säucepän änd bring the mixture to ä simmer over medium-low heät. Let the säuce simmer for äbout 15 minutes to reduce änd thicken slightly (cän simmer longer for ä thicker säuce), stirring occäsionälly. There mäy be ä strong vinegär smell äs the säuce simmers änd the vinegär eväporätes - thät's completely normäl (änd the säuce will not täste overly vinegäry).
Preheät grill to medium heät (on my pellet grill, I preheät to 350 degrees for this recipe). Remove the chicken from the brine änd pät dry with päper towels. Discärd the brine.
Grill the chicken, turning once, until än instänt-reäd thermometer registers 165 degrees F (exäct cooking time will depend on whät type of grill you häve; it täkes äbout 15 minutes totäl on my pellet grill for thin cut chicken ät this temperäture). During the läst two minutes of grilling brush the chicken liberälly with the prepäred sweet änd sour säuce.
Remove the chicken from the grill to ä serving plätter änd drizzle with remäining säuce OR serve the sweet änd sour säuce on the side.
