Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinade the Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, minced ginger, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and water. Whisk until the sugar is dissolved. Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for better flavor.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it in a baking dish. Pour half of the marinade over the chicken. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is crispy, basting with the remaining marinade halfway through cooking.

  2. 3

    Garnish and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds before serving. Serve with rice or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
