Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 lb chicken thighs (cut into 1-inch bite-sized pieces)
- 4 tbsp Japanese BBQ sauce
- 1.5 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sriracha
- 6 cloves garlic (freshly minced)
- 0.5 tbsp ginger
- 0.5 tsp toasted sesame oil
- 0.25 tsp red chili flakes
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
- sesame seeds (toasted)
- green onions for garnish
- Japanese BBQ sauce (for serving)
- yum yum sauce (Terry Ho's recommended)
Instructions
Preparation
- Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces of about one inch each and set aside in a mixing bowl.
- In a separate bowl, combine Japanese BBQ sauce, soy sauce, sriracha, minced garlic, ginger, toasted sesame oil, red chili flakes, salt, and pepper. Stir well until blended.
- Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is coated. Mix thoroughly and let marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Cooking
- Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add the marinated chicken in a single layer.
- Cook until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, turning occasionally for even browning.
- Transfer the cooked chicken to a serving platter and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
Notes
Marinate longer for deeper flavor; use a non-stick pan for crispy results.
