Method
Preparation of Chicken
- 1
Prepare Chicken
Begin by trimming any excess fat from the boneless chicken thighs and cutting them into bite-sized pieces. This will ensure even cooking and better absorption of the marinade.
Marinade
- 2
Mix Marinade Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, cornstarch, and water until the mixture is well combined and the sugar is dissolved.

Marinate Chicken
Place the chicken pieces in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.
Cooking Chicken

Cook the Chicken
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Add the chicken to the hot skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice glaze. Discard any leftover marinade.
Garnishing

Garnish
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the heat and sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving. This adds a pop of color and flavor to the dish.
