Garlic Soy Ginger Chicken
Ingredients
  • 1 cup soy sauce
  • 8 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons hot pepper sauce
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root
  • 2 pounds skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 4 tablespoons crunchy peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
Instructions
1
Combine soy sauce, minced garlic, hot pepper sauce, and grated ginger in a large bowl until they form a cohesive mixture. Introduce the chicken to this blend, ensuring it's evenly coated before covering the bowl and refrigerating for at least 1 hour.
2
When prepared to cook, remove the chicken from its marinade and gently shake off any excess. Reserve the remaining marinade in the bowl.
3
In a Dutch oven, heat sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add brown sugar and stir until it dissolves completely. Introduce the sliced onion into the pot and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the chicken to the pot and cook, stirring frequently, until it's evenly browned on all sides, approximately 5 minutes. Add water and the reserved marinade to the pot, stirring until it comes to a boil.
4
Lower the heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add peanut butter to the pot and stir until it's well incorporated with the sauce. Continue simmering for an additional 10 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a serving platter, pour the sauce over it, and garnish with chopped green onions.
