Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a medium bowl, combine the minced ginger, black bean sauce, sesame oil, and freshly ground black pepper.

02

Step

Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and toss to ensure each piece is thoroughly coated in the marinade. (2 minutes)

03

Step

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to fully penetrate the chicken. (2 hours)

04

Step

Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 350-400°F or 175-200°C). Ensure the grill grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking. (5 minutes)

05

Step

Remove the chicken thighs from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Discard the used marinade.

06

Step

Place the marinated chicken thighs on the preheated grill. Grill for approximately 8-10 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). The chicken should be cooked through but still juicy. (20 minutes)

07

Step

Remove the grilled chicken thighs from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish. (5 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of rice vinegar or a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade.
If you don't have a grill, these chicken thighs can also be cooked in a skillet on the stovetop or baked in the oven at 375°F (190°C) until cooked through.
Serve these grilled chicken thighs with a side of steamed rice, quinoa, or roasted vegetables for a complete and satisfying meal.
