21st COMM Squadron Chicken

This one is super easy and super delicious.  We had it at the annual COMM Squadron picnic this past summer, it was FABULOUS!  Just about everybody that tried it wanted the recipe.  I have served it a few times since, and all of our guests have loved it.

The actual recipe calls for 2 bags of chicken thighs, but I have found that you can use just about any amount of thighs.  I use the same mixture for the three of us, or for us plus 3 visitors.  I just throw more thighs in the bag. 

Ingredients
2 bags (2.5 lbs each) boneless/skinless chicken thighs
1 cup Kikoman soy sauce
3/4 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
2 tbsp Aji-mirin (Japanese sweet cooking rice wine)
2 tsp sesame seed oil
1 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp minced ginger
1 tsp sesame seeds
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
2 green onions, sliced 1″ lengths

Directions
Mix all ingredients in a large ziploc bag and marinade in the refrigerator.  I have done anywhere from a couple hours to overnight.   Cook over BBQ.  It goes great with grilled pineapple, Dole Crunch Asian Supreme bagged salad and rice pilaf!
