Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, minced ginger, sesame oil, and water. Add the chicken thighs and marinate for at least 30 minutes, preferably a few hours or overnight in the refrigerator.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Heat a large skillet or pan over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken thighs to the skillet, reserving the marinade. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until the chicken is browned and cooked through.

  3. 3

    Add the Marinade

    Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet with the chicken. Bring to a simmer and cook for another 5-10 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove from heat and serve the chicken topped with the sauce, garnished with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds.
