Servings: 6 people
Calories: 382kcal
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- juice of 1 orange
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 3 cloves garlic peeled + minced
- 1 " piece of ginger minced
- 7 chicken thighs ~4 lb, bones removed
- freshly ground peppercorn medley
- garnish**
Instructions
- Combine the soy sauce, EVOO, orange juice, brown sugar, garlic and ginger together in a large bowl.
- Add the chicken into the bowl and let it marinate for at least 3 hours.*
- Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
- Heat up a skillet over medium heat and add extra virgin olive oil. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook until the chicken is almost cooked through.
- Pour the sauce over the chicken and let it simmer until the sauce thickens a bit.
- Top with pepper + garnish of choice.**
Notes
- *You can put a layer of plastic wrap sit just over the top of the chicken so that the surface tension will allow the marinade to coat the top layer as well.
- **Like I said above, basil isn't traditional (but we didn't have the other ingredients on hand--still tasted amazing!) However, for something more traditional, garnish with white sesame seeds + sliced green onions.
- P.S. Just in case you were alarmed, the 3 hour prep time is passive -- you just need to give the meat time to marinate!
