Ingredients

Scale
  • ¾ lb chicken thighs (or chicken breasts)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • ⅓ cup low sodium soy sauce
  • ⅓ cup fruit juice (as a mirin substitute)
  • ⅓ cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic or ginger (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prep Chicken: Flatten the chicken to about ¾ inch thick and place it in a ziplock bag or large bowl.
  2. Prepare Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, fruit juice, sugar, and minced garlic or ginger. Mix well until sugar dissolves. Reserve half for glazing later.
  3. Marinate: Pour the remaining marinade over the chicken and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes (up to overnight in the fridge).
  4. Cook: Grill, bake, or stir-fry the chicken until cooked through and juicy—about 5-7 minutes on each side for grilling or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  5. Serve: Drizzle reserved marinade over the chicken before serving and enjoy!
