A flavorful and easy-to-make chicken dish with an Asian-inspired marinade.
Combine the tamari soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes in a large zip-top bag.
Ensure the bag is sealed properly to avoid leaks during marination.
Add the chicken thighs to the bag, seal it, and massage the marinade into the chicken. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
For deeper flavor, marinate the chicken overnight.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and lightly coat with cooking spray.
Ensure the skillet is hot before adding the chicken to achieve a good sear.
Place the chicken thighs in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until fully cooked.
Avoid overcrowding the skillet; cook in batches if necessary.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside. Pour the remaining marinade into the skillet and simmer for 5 minutes until thickened.
Strain the sauce through a sieve for a smooth consistency.
Drizzle the thickened sauce over the chicken and garnish with sesame seeds and chopped scallions.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Serve the chicken thighs with your choice of sides and enjoy your meal.
Pair with steamed rice or noodles for a complete dish.
