The last recipe I shared with you was my simple + quick bolognese sauce – if you haven’t tried it yet, you may want to.
It’s also a staple in our household and is delicious served over both pasta or steamed veggies.
Now let’s get back to my boneless Asian chicken thighs!
I mentioned above that this marinade is amazing. I haven’t tried it yet with other meats, next I plan to marinate it with steak, and I know it will be outstanding.
I’m sure pork chops would just as delectable.
We’re big meat eaters in our house, so I’m always looking for different ways to prepare our mainly protein dinners.
OUR FAVORITE SIDE: QUICK-FRY BROCCOLI
One of my simple, go-to sides is a quick-fry broccoli – it’s ready in less than ten minutes and is just so yummy! Here’s how:
- After broccoli has been washed and cut, throw it in the frying pan with olive oil, salt and garlic powder. Sometimes I’ll add diced onions.
- Fry on medium-high until it starts to take on some golden crusting.
- Keep stirring it around to get more color for another minute or two.
- Voilà, fini! You can continue to cook more if desired, but we like ours more al dente.
It’s the perfect side, and if you are low-carb, load up that plate with those veggies!
Sometimes I’ll make steamed rice or quinoa with this as well, quick and easy and always delish.

Add chicken thighs to the marinade.

Recipe Notes
If you don’t have time to marinate for one hour, that’s ok! Once you’ve mixed everything and prepared the meat by poking holes, it will still be delicious. Make sure to spoon the sauce from the pan on top of your chicken after cooking. This recipe can also be grilled on the BBQ or pan-fried if desired!

I am so happy to hear that! Thank you for letting me know! It’s a staple in our home! xo
Perfect blend of sweet and savory. I made this. It was easy and cooked quickly. I broiled mine at 500 on second rack from the top 10 minutes each side. I served it over jasmine rice and an egg roll. My husband loved it. I’ve tried other recipes and he didn’t like any of them, this one is very good.
That’s a good question – mine is gas with only one setting – I would try low at first so they don’t burn!
Do you broil on high or low
I’m sure that will work great! I hope you enjoyed it! Thanks for stopping by!
Sounds SO yummy. Just got the chicken
marinating. Fewer thighs on the package than I thought so will cut it into bite size pieces & stir fry. I’m sure it will be just as good. Will be served with rice & stir fried broccoli. Mmmmm.,,,,,
Hi Doreen! Thank you so much for following along and for the feedback! Boneless thighs are really quick anyway you cook them! A few minutes on neach side is all it takes. I hope this helps! xo
I love the ingredients in the marinade and how to prep the chicken for cooking. I wish you had given me just a little more data on how long to put on the grill on each side or fry in a skillet, I prefer to avoid using my broiler and this was the only information that was provided.
I’m so thrilled you like it! It’s a favorite in our home and it is so good on the grill!
So good, cooked on the grill and the next day had chicken on a salad, delicious. Thanks this is a keeper for sure.
Laura, you will love these so much!
I promise they will, Marty! They are so fabulous! Thanks for hosting as always!!
Yes they’re incredible! You’ll love this for sure, I promise it will be a fam fave!!
These sound amazing being marinated for 24 hours. My family loves wings so these will be a treat!
My family will love these, can’t wait to make them this weekend. Thanks so much for linking to the party.
My mouth is watering! I can’t wait to try this recipe. My family will love it!
