Hey guys, today I am going to share a tender and juicy Soy Sauce Chicken Thighs recipe. This dish will fit your need for a simple weeknight dinner recipe. It requires only one main ingredient (chicken thighs) and takes just 20 minutes to make.
The savory soy sauce favor comes from marinating the chicken with:
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- half a tablespoon minced garlic
- half a tablespoon sesame oil
- half a tablespoon sugar
- a touch of salt
- half a tablespoon cooking wine
To cook, first pan fry the chicken until they have just changed color, then add some water into the pan and simmer until the sauce has thickened.
I like to top the chicken with freshly chopped green onion and toasted sesame seeds. Pair with a bowl of rice and vegetable soup, it is one of my favorite weeknight dinner combo.
Here is an overview of how I made this soy sauce chicken thighs in about 20 minutes.
