Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs

Sauce

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce

Instructions

  1. Cook Chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken thighs and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through.
  2. Add Sauce: Reduce heat to low and add the minced garlic, brown sugar, and soy sauce to the skillet with the chicken.
  3. Simmer Until Sticky: Stir the sauce occasionally and let it simmer for 5-10 minutes until it thickens and becomes sticky, coating the chicken evenly.

Notes

  • Use boneless chicken thighs for quicker cooking and juicier meat.
  • Adjust brown sugar and soy sauce quantities to balance sweetness and saltiness to taste.
  • Serve over steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
  • Make sure to simmer the sauce on low heat to prevent burning while thickening.
