Ingredients

  • 1 lb Boneless Chicken Thigh Fat removed
  • 6 tbsp Soy Sauce
  • 4 tbsp Sugar
  • 3 tbsp Garlic
  • 3 tbsp Mirin
  • 1/2 cup Water
  • 1 tbsp Ginger
  • 1 tbsp Sesame Oil
  • 1/2 tbsp Oyster Sauce
  • Black Pepper To taste
  • Few drops Liquid Smoke
  • Vegetable or Canola Oil For pan frying

Instructions

  • Clean the chicken by removing all fat.
  • In a bowl, combine soy sauce, sugar, garlic, mirin, water, ginger, sesame oil, oyster sauce, black pepper, and liquid smoke. Mix thoroughly.
  • Add the chicken to the marinade and make sure it is submerged. Let it marinate for 12 hours minimum.
  • Pan Fry: In high heat with a splash of oil, cook the chicken for 4 minutes on both sides. In the last couple of minutes, add a little bit of marinade and let it reduce to make a glaze.
  • Grill: In high heat, grill for 5-7 minutes, basting consistently and covering halfway to make sure it is cooked thoroughly.
  • Serve with rice and side dishes. Enjoy!
