Ingredients
Scale
- 1 kg boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger.
- Add chicken thighs and toss to coat. Marinate for at least 30 minutes in the fridge.
- Preheat grill or grill pan over medium heat for 4–5 minutes.
- Remove chicken from marinade, shaking off excess, and grill 5–6 minutes per side until cooked through and lightly charred.
- Optional: boil remaining marinade in a saucepan for 3–5 minutes to create a glaze.
- Let grilled chicken rest a few minutes before slicing. Serve hot with rice or vegetables, and drizzle with glaze. Garnish with sesame seeds or green onions if desired.
Notes
For a low-sugar version, skip the sweetener. For vegetarian options, use tofu or portobello mushrooms. Tamari can be used instead of soy sauce for a gluten-free version.
