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.
