Method
Preparation of the Chicken
- 1
Prepare the Chicken
Trim any excess fat from the chicken thighs and cut them into bite-sized pieces.
- 2
Marinate the Chicken
In a bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, mirin, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Mix well until the sugar is dissolved. Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Cooking the Chicken
- 3
Cook the Chicken
Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken pieces (reserve the marinade) and cook for about 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and nicely browned.

Create the Sauce
In the same pan, pour in the reserved marinade. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for about 3-5 minutes, allowing the sauce to reduce and thicken slightly.

Combine and Serve
Once the sauce has thickened, return the cooked chicken to the pan and toss to coat the chicken evenly in the sauce. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat through. Remove from heat.
