  • Total Time: 1 hour 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
  • 1/2 cup shoyu (soy sauce)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
  • 1 cup bell peppers, sliced
  • Rice for serving
  • Fresh pineapple slices (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Combine shoyu, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and rice vinegar in a bowl to make the marinade.
  2. Add chicken thighs to the marinade, coat well, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
  3. Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat, add oil, and sear the chicken thighs skin-side down for 5-7 minutes until golden brown.
  4. Add chicken back into the pan with remaining marinade, bring to a simmer, cover, and cook for 20 minutes, flipping occasionally.
  5. Add bell peppers during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
  6. Serve with steamed rice, garnished with green onions and pineapple slices.

Notes

  • For best flavor, marinate chicken overnight.
  • Adjust cooking time if using chicken breasts instead of thighs.
  • This dish is suitable for meal prep and can be stored for up to 3 days in the fridge.
  • Add red pepper flakes to the marinade for a spicy kick.
