Chicken Marinade:

  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)

  2. Thicken the Sauce: Whisk together cornstarch and water, then stir into the saucepan. Cook until thickened, about 2–3 minutes.
  3. Marinate the Chicken: Place chicken thighs in a bag, pour marinade over them, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

  5. Serve: Rest chicken, drizzle with reserved sauce, and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

  • Thighs recommended for tenderness, but breasts can be used if pounded thin.
  • Delicious over rice with grilled pineapple on the side.
