Ingredients

US Customary - Metric
  • 6 Chicken Thighs boneless skinless
  • 2 cups soy sauce I used low sodium
  • ¾ cup brown sugar I used dark but either is fine
  • 1 inch fresh ginger grated
  • 2 cloves garlic grated
  • ¼ cup sesame oil
  • 5 green onions sliced thinly (white and green parts)
  • ½ tsp Sesame seeds optional for garnish

Instructions

  • Combine all of the ingredients, except for the chicken, in a closable storage bag or large bowl. Shake or stir to dissolve sugar. Scoop out about 1/2 cup into a separate bowl and set aside. Add chicken to the bag/bowl and allow to marinate for two hours or even overnight.
  • While the grill is preheating, Cook the reserved sauce (marinade) on low in a small saucepan until thickened, approximately 10 minutes.
  • When it's time to grill, remove the chicken from the bag (or bowl). Discard the marinade.
    Grill the food until it is fully cooked. This usually takes about 6 to 8 minutes on each side. Use an instant-read thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.
    Remove and cover loosely with foil for 10 minutes.
  • Chop the chicken in small pieces and serve over rice. Drizzle with thickened sauce and garnish with sesame seeds if desired.
