Today’s recipes is a simple recipe that involves marinating chicken thighs in a salty-savory sauce overnight and cooking the next day. By brining the meat beforehand, you’re left with juicy meat soaked in a soy sauce, garlic and ginger marinade that is absolutely irresistible. Brining the meat is essential to have tender, juicy chicken and is an easy step to do before preparing the chicken to eat. Simply soak the chicken in salted water for a least an hour and it will take on all the right qualities you’re looking for in a good chicken meal.Show more

I always make a big batch, subdividing it and storing what’s not being eaten in the freezer. This kind of meal prep is great for people with busy lives, as it’s easy to defrost and have over rice. It’s even tasty cold, so it’s great for lunch/bento boxes as well.
