Preparation
- In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil to create the marinade.
- Add chicken thighs to the bowl, ensuring they are fully coated, then marinate for at least 15 minutes, or preferably for 30 minutes to an hour for better flavor.
Cooking
- Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat with a little oil.
- Once hot, add the marinated chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes per side until browned and cooked through.
- Pour the remaining marinade into the skillet, bring it to a simmer, and cook until the sauce thickens and caramelizes, coating the chicken nicely.
Serving
- Serve the caramelized soy chicken immediately over rice or with your favorite side dishes.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions for added flavor and visual appeal.
Notes
For an extra kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade. This dish pairs well with steamed rice and stir-fried vegetables.
