Prepare the marinade by combining soy sauce, garlic, ginger, brown sugar, black pepper, lime juice, vegetable oil, and red chili flakes in a bowl.

Mix the marinade until the sugar is dissolved and all ingredients are well combined.

Place the chicken in a large resealable bag or dish and pour the marinade over it.

Seal the bag or cover the dish, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best flavor.

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, about 375-400°F.

Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off.

Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

Baste the chicken with leftover marinade during the last few minutes of cooking for extra flavor.

Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Garnish with chopped green onions and serve with lime wedges.
