MONGOLIAN CHICKEN

If Mongolian beef is your go to when it comes to Chinese take-out, I challenge you to try this version made with chicken instead. The chicken is melt-in-your-mouth tender and requires no marinating time as beef would. Serve over rice.

Categories     Chicken

Time 7h15m

Number Of Ingredients 8

SAUCE AND MARINADE
1 tsp canola oil
1 tsp ginger minced
3 clove garlic minced
1/2 c soy sauce
1/2 c water
1 c brown sugar
6 boneless skinless chicken thighs

Steps:

  • 1. Mix the first 6 ingredients together and marinade the chicken 6 hours.
  • 2. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill it basting with the marinade until done.
  • 3. Take remainder of marinade and cook on stove top until thickened and serve with chicken

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish. Look for high-quality chicken, vegetables, and sauces.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Mongolian chicken is best when the chicken is cooked through but still tender and juicy. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
  • Use a large wok or skillet: A large cooking surface will help you to cook the chicken and vegetables quickly and evenly.
  • Make sure the sauce is boiling before adding the chicken: This will help to prevent the sauce from sticking to the chicken and will also help to cook the chicken more evenly.
  • Serve immediately: Mongolian chicken is best served hot and fresh from the wok or skillet. If you need to keep it warm for a while, cover it with foil and place it in a warm oven.

Conclusion:

Mongolian chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. With its tender chicken, flavorful vegetables, and savory sauce, Mongolian chicken is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner recipe, give Mongolian chicken a try. You won't be disappointed.
