Ingredients

  • 2-3 lbs boneless checken thighs (or tenders)
  • 1/2 cup soy
  • 1/3 cup olive oil or vegetable oil (OR for low-FODMAP use garlic-infused olive oil and skip garlic below)
  • 1 1/2 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar
  • 3 Tbs honey
  • 1 clove garlic, minced or pressed (or skip this and use garlic-infused oil above)
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger (if you have fresh, naturally you can use that, but I said "insanely easy," so...)
  • bit of black pepper
  • OPTIONAL: toasted sesame and/or green onion for serving

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl or smallish casserole with lid (or use wrap to cover)
  • Cast iron giddle or broiler pan

Instructions

  1. Mix together everything but the chicken. Then add the chicken and toss to coat. Cover and marinade in the fridge for an hour - but you could leave for 24 hours.
  2. When you're ready to eat, rub griddle with oil and arrange chicken, spreading them out so they cook evenly. (Don't leave them doubled-over if possible.) Broil each side for 6-10 minutes (depending on thickness) until golden (or a little charred if you prefer.)
  3. Top with the toasted sesame and/or green onion before serving if desired.
