Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken thighs (boneless, skinless)
- 0.5 cup ketchup
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil
- 2 tablespoons optional garnish: chopped green onions
- 1 teaspoon optional garnish: sesame seeds
Instructions
Season the chicken thighs with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat the cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the chicken thighs to the skillet. Sear them for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and combine the ketchup, soy sauce, and brown sugar. Stir well to create a smooth sauce.
Return the seared chicken thighs to the skillet, ensuring they are evenly coated with the sauce.
Cover the skillet with a lid and simmer the chicken for 15-18 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the lid and let the sauce thicken slightly by simmering uncovered for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Serve the Chicken 1 2 3 over steamed rice or alongside your favorite vegetables. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
