Now, let’s gather our ingredients and get cooking!
Ingredients
- 4-6 chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped green onions (for garnish)
Instructions
- Start by marinating the chicken thighs. In a bowl, mix the soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, and black pepper. Whisk until it’s smooth and the sugar is dissolved.
- Add the chicken thighs to the marinade. Make sure they’re well coated. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, or if you have more time, let it sit for a couple of hours—trust me, the flavor will be on point!
- Once the chicken is marinated, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Take a baking dish and arrange the marinated chicken thighs in it. Pour any leftover marinade over the top. It’s all about that saucy goodness!
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and has that beautiful caramel color.
- Take it out and let it rest for a few minutes. This lets the juices settle in.
- Before serving, sprinkle some chopped green onions over the top for that fresh finish.
And there you have it! Serve these Asian Caramel Chicken Thighs over some fluffy rice or with your favorite veggies, and enjoy a delicious meal that’s easy to whip up any day of the week. Bon appétit!
