several lettuce leaves, for garnish

SAUCE:

1/4 cup soy sauce
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 tbsp. black pepper
a little oil

Rinse chicken in cool water and pat with dry towel.

Mix soy sauce, garlic, pepper, oil and sugar in a bowl. Then rub chicken with this mixture. Save remainder of the mixture for later.

Put chicken on plate and leave it for 2 to 4 hours in refrigerator.
