Ingredients

1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons dry sherry
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 garlic cloves, crushed with a garlic press or minced
1 teaspoon finely grated fresh ginger
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 pounds skinless chicken thighs
2 teaspoons sesame seeds

Directions

Combine the soy sauce, sugar, sherry, vinegar, garlic, ginger and red pepper flakes and stir until the sugar dissolves. Transfer to a resealable plastic bag and add the chicken. Seal the bag and marinate the chicken in the refrigerator, turning once, for 1 hour. The chicken can be marinated for up to 4 hours.

Heat the broiler to high. Arrange the chicken on a broiler pan skin side down and broil until brown and crispy, 8 to 10 minutes. Flip the chicken and broil until almost cooked through, about 8 minutes longer. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and cook until the seeds turn golden brown and the chicken is done, 1 to 2 minutes longer.

skin on or off?
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

One question: The ingredients lists skinless chicken thighs but in the directions it says to broil skin side down - so is it... best to to use skin on or skinless? We tried a few pieces of each (although the skin did burn) and loved it! Read more

Excellent recipe!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I only had time to marinade for 20 minutes, and the dish still came out very flavorful! I like that it wasn't too sweet. ... The brown sugar was a clever touch over honey (other recipe I use). Read more
