Ingredients

Main Ingredients

▢ 4 pieces chicken thighs bone-in, skin-on
▢ 0.5 cup soy sauce low-sodium preferred
▢ 0.25 cup brown sugar packed
▢ 0.25 cup water
▢ 4 cloves garlic minced
▢ 2 tablespoons ginger grated
▢ 1 tablespoon sesame oil
▢ 2 stalks green onions chopped, for garnish
▢ 1 tablespoon sesame seeds toasted

Instructions

Preparation Steps

In a large saucepan, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, water, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil. Stir until sugar is dissolved.
Add chicken thighs to the pan, ensuring they are submerged in the sauce. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Reduce heat to low and cover. Simmer for 30 minutes, occasionally flipping the chicken.
Remove the lid and increase heat to medium. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken.
Garnish with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

For best results, you can marinate the chicken in the sauce for a few hours before cooking. Serve with steamed rice or vegetables for a complete meal.
