Ingredients
- 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs approximately 6 thighs
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup soy sauce

- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tsp minced garlic
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger

Instructions
- Mix together the brown sugar, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, honey, garlic, ginger and pepper together in a medium size bowl.
- Reserve approximately 1/2 cup of the this mixture and then use the remaining mixture to marinade the chicken thighs by placing the chicken in a gallon size bag and pour the remaining sauce over the chicken.
- Allow the chicken to marinade for at least 30 minutes but you can marinade it for up to 8 hours.
- Preheat the grill to medium high heat. Spray the grill grates with a non-stick cooking spray or brush with oil.
- Grill the chicken thighs for approximately 5-7 minutes per side until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
- While the chicken is cooking, mix the remaining sauce with the cornstarch. Heat this mixture in a sauce pan over medium high heat, whisking constantly until the mixture has thickened.
- Brush this sauce over the grilled chicken when serving and enjoy!
- Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.
