Description
Delicious soy sauce chicken thighs marinated in a flavorful blend of ingredients.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 pounds chicken thighs, skinless and boneless
- 1/4 cup white vinegar
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 6 garlic cloves, crushed or finely minced
- 3 bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon black peppercorns or 1/2 teaspoon coarse ground pepper
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or use brown sugar or coconut sugar
- 1 Fresno chili pepper or jalapeño, sliced thin or use pepper flakes
- 2 green onions, sliced for garnish
Instructions
- In a shallow bowl mix together vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, bay leaves, peppercorns, and maple syrup. Add chicken and let marinate for 1-3 hours.
- Drain the chicken, reserving the marinade. Heat up a pan with just enough oil to coat the bottom, brown the chicken in the hot pan about 3 minutes per side.
- Add the reserved marinade back into the pan. If using a chili pepper, add that in. Simmer the chicken in marinade uncovered until it almost completely reduces, about 15-20 minutes, more if needed. The chicken will be dark and glazed.
- Serve with green onions.
Notes
- For extra heat, use more chili pepper or add red pepper flakes.
- Allowing the chicken to marinate longer enhances the flavor.
