| Serving(s): 2-3 | Prep Time: 10 minutes (40 with marinating) | Cook Time: 25 minutes | Total Time: 50 minutes |
Ingredients
- 4 chicken thighs, skin on
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 ½ tbsp Natvia Brown Sweetener (for a richer caramelised glaze)
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 tsp fresh grated ginger or ½ tbsp ginger powder
- 1 tsp sesame oil (optional, for aroma)
- 1 tbsp water
- 1 tsp rice vinegar or lime juice (optional, to balance sweetness)
- Pinch of black pepper
- Optional garnish: sliced spring onion, sesame seeds
Method
- In a bowl, mix soy sauce, Natvia Brown Sweetener, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, water, and vinegar/lime juice until Sweetener dissolves. This is your marinade and glaze.
- Optional: Marinate chicken for 30 minutes for deeper flavour.
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Place chicken thighs skin-side down and cook 8–10 minutes until golden and crispy.
- Flip chicken, pour marinade over, reduce heat to low, cover, and cook 10–15 minutes until chicken is cooked through and the glaze thickens into a sticky, glossy coating.
- Taste the glaze and adjust seasoning if needed (extra soy for saltiness, extra Natvia for sweetness).
- Serve with steamed veggies, cauliflower rice, or your choice of sides. Garnish with spring onions or sesame seeds for extra umami punch.
