Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs skinless, boneless chicken thighs or breasts
- 1 cup soy sauce
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon minced ginger
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- ½ cup water
- Green onions for garnish
- Sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
- Add chicken to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
- Remove the chicken and reserve the marinade. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the marinated chicken.
- Cook the chicken for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- While the chicken cooks, pour the reserved marinade into a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Mix cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Slowly add this to the simmering sauce, stirring continuously until it thickens.
- Drizzle the thickened sauce over the cooked chicken and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
Notes
For added flavor, marinate overnight and consider grilling the chicken for a smoky touch. Serve with steamed rice or a fresh salad.
