Ingredients

• 1-1/2 lb chicken thighs boneless skinless (about 6 thighs)
• 3 tbsp soy sauce low sodium
• 1/4 tsp dark soy sauce optional
• 1/4 tsp allspice ground
• 2 cloves garlic minced
• 1 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp sesame oil

Preparation

Step 1

Pat the chicken dry and trim any fat if preferred.
In a small bowl bowl whisk together the soy sauce, dark soy sauce, allspice, garlic and brown sugar. Set aside.
In a skillet heat the olive oil and sesame oil. Add the chicken to the skillet. Using a brush, brush about half the soy sauce mixture over all the chicken pieces. Cook for about 5 minutes, flip over and brush with the remaining sauce. Cook for 7 to 9 minutes, flip over and cook for an additional 2 to 4 minutes. Thighs should take a total of 14 to 18 minutes to be fully cooked.
Remove thighs from skillet and serve.

Notes:
Partially frozen thighs can be used as well. Follow the instructions as specified, then place the skillet in the oven and finish cooking them for another 15 minutes at 375 F degrees.

Boneless skinless chicken thighs can be used as well. If using flattened chicken cook for a total of 6 to 8 minutes, otherwise 8 to 12 minutes.
