Cooking Instructions
  1. Marinate the chicken thighs in a bowl with soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger for at least 15 minutes.
  2. While the chicken marinates, chop the scallions and mushrooms, preparing your veggies for cooking.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, add oil, and sear the marinated chicken thighs skin-side down for 6-8 minutes until golden brown.
  4. Flip the chicken and cook for another 6-8 minutes until cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.

Notes

Allowing the chicken to marinate for at least 15 minutes enhances flavor. Use medium-high heat for a golden crust and add veggies towards the end for a crunch.
