Ingredients

1/4 cup soy sauce ($0.24)

3 Tbsp brown sugar ($0.12)

1 Tbsp water ($0.00)

1 clove garlic, minced ($0.08)

1 tsp grated fresh ginger ($0.10)

2 Tbsp cooking oil, divided ($0.08)

1.75 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken thighs ($5.72)

Instructions

1 Prepare the marinade first. Stir together the soy sauce, brown sugar, water, garlic, ginger, and 1 Tbsp of the cooking oil in a bowl.

2 Place the chicken in a shallow bowl or dish, then pour the marinade over top. Turn the chicken a couple of times to make sure it's well coated. Let the chicken marinate for 30 minutes to one day (refrigerated), turning the chicken occasionally as it marinates.

3 When ready to cook the chicken, heat the remaining 1 Tbsp cooking oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken, discarding the remaining used marinade.

4 Cook the chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until cooked through and the liquid in the skillet has reduced to a light coating of glaze on the chicken.

5 Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
