Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sauce

    In a bowl, mix soy sauce, the rice vinegar and sugar mixture, apple juice, brown sugar, minced garlic, and grated ginger until the sugar dissolves.

  2. Marinate the Chicken

    Place chicken thighs in a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour half of the sauce over the chicken and marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

  3. Cook the Chicken

    Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from the marinade and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until cooked through.

  4. Thicken the Sauce (optional)

    For a thicker sauce, mix cornstarch with water and add to the remaining sauce. Bring to a boil in a small saucepan, stirring constantly.

  5. Combine and Serve

    Pour the thickened sauce over the cooked chicken, turn to coat evenly, and simmer for a few minutes. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds. Serve hot with rice and vegetables.
