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.
I hope you enjoy making this tasty soy sauce chicken thighs at home. If you like this recipe, please leave a rating and share it with your friends!
