Shoyu Chicken

Ingredients

  • 1 cup soy sauce
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 4 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger root
  • 1 tbsp ground black pepper
  • 1 tbsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 tsp ground cayenne pepper
  • 1 tsp ground paprika
  • 5 lb skinless chicken thighs

Steps

  1. Whisk soy sauce, brown sugar, water, onion, garlic, ginger, black pepper, oregano, red pepper flakes, cayenne pepper, and paprika together in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add chicken thighs and toss to coat evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap; marinate chicken in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
  2. Preheat an outdoor grill to medium heat. Lightly oil the grate.
  3. Remove chicken thighs from marinade; discard remaining marinade.
  4. Grill chicken thighs on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 15 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
