• total time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

⅓ cup reduced-sodium soy sauce

2 tablespoons rice vinegar

⅓ cup brown sugar

2 garlic cloves (minced)

1 teaspoon fresh ginger (minced)

2 pounds boneless (skinless chicken thighs (or breasts)

Toppings: chopped green onions and sesame seeds

Directions

In a medium bowl or zip-top bag, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is well combined.

Add the chicken to the marinade, making sure it’s fully coated.

Cover (or seal the bag) and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably 2–4 hours. For maximum flavor, marinate overnight. Remove chicken from the marinade and let excess drip off.

Preheat grill to medium-high heat and cook chicken for 5–6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked (165°F/74°C internal temp).

Slice the chicken and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds. Serve with rice, steamed veggies, or in lettuce wraps.
