1-Getting started with this caramelised soy chicken is as fun as it is simple. First, mix up the marinade by combining the minced garlic, grated ginger, brown sugar, soy sauce, black pepper, and cooking oil in a bowl. This step infuses the chicken with amazing flavor, and I love how the aromas fill the kitchen right away.

2-Next, place the 8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs in a shallow dish or zip-lock bag, pour the marinade over them, and make sure they’re fully coated. Pop it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes or up to 24 hours if you want even more taste. While it marinates, you can prep any sides, like some steamed rice, to make the meal complete.

3-When it’s time to cook, heat ½ tablespoon of cooking oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook half the chicken pieces until they’re browned and fully cooked through, then set them aside and do the same with the rest. After that, pour in any leftover marinade, bring it to a boil while whisking to pick up those tasty browned bits, and let it reduce until it’s thick and glaze-like.
