Ingredients
For the Chicken:
- 8 Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs trimmed
For the Glaze:
- ⅓ cup Low Sodium Soy Sauce
- ⅓ cup Balsamic Vinegar
- ¼ cup Brown Sugar
- 1 Tablespoon Sriracha Sauce
- ½ teaspoon Black Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Sesame Oil
- 2 teaspoon Minced Garlic
- 1 Tablespoon Cornstarch
- ½ cup Water
For the Topping:
- 2 Green Onions diced Sesame Seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Whisk together the glaze ingredients in a saucepan. Heat over medium high heat and bring the mixture to a low simmer. Then simmer for 10-15 minutes until the mixture is reduced in half and thickened. Whisk the mixture occasionally so that the sauce does not burn.
- Preheat the grill over medium high heat (approximately 400 degrees F) and brush the grill grates with oil so that the chicken does not stick to the grill.
- Grill the chicken thighs over direct heat for 4-6 minutes per side until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
- Remove the chicken from the grill. Brush the chicken with the sauce from the saucepan. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes.
- Then the chicken is ready to serve topped with the green onions and sesame seeds. Enjoy!
Notes
Use an instant-read meat thermometer to make sure that the chicken is cooked to a safe temperature.
Refrigerate the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
