Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil until well mixed.
- Marinate Chicken: Place chicken thighs in a large ziplock bag or bowl. Pour marinade over chicken, ensuring all pieces are coated. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or overnight for enhanced flavor.
- Cook Chicken: Preheat grill to medium-high heat or heat a skillet on medium-high. Remove chicken from marinade (reserve marinade) and cook each side for about 6-7 minutes until charred and cooked through (165°F internal temperature).
- Make Glaze (Optional): While cooking, bring reserved marinade to a boil in a small saucepan. Reduce heat and simmer until slightly thickened.
- Serve: Rest the chicken for 5 minutes before slicing. Drizzle with glaze if made and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.
