Pin Recipe
Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 10.6 oz boneless, skin-on chicken thighs
- 1 tsp grated garlic
- ½ Tbsp sugar
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- a pinch of salt
- a pinch of ground black pepper
- 4 Tbsp ketchup (0.6 oz/17 g per Tbsp)
- ½ Tbsp Japanese mayonnaise (such as Kewpie Mayo; 0.53 oz/15 g per Tbsp. For a homemade version, please refer to the linked article.)
Instructions
- Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
- Place the chicken in a bowl and add garlic, sugar, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes so the flavors can soak into the chicken (refrigerate if necessary).
- Heat oil in a pan. Once the pan is hot, add the chicken skin-side down and sauté over medium heat until lightly browned, about 1-2 minutes. Then, flip the chicken over and cook the other side until lightly browned as well.
- Reduce the heat to low and add ketchup and Japanese mayonnaise. Toss to coat the chicken evenly and cook for 2 minutes.
Notes
- You can store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
