Creating Juicy Japanese BBQ Chicken Thighs is a simple process if you follow these easy steps:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, mix together the soy sauce, mirin, sesame oil, brown sugar, minced garlic, and grated ginger until the sugar is dissolved.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken thighs in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
3. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 400°F (200°C).
4. Remove Chicken from Marinade: Take the chicken thighs out of the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Discard the leftover marinade.
5. Grill the Chicken: Place the chicken thighs on the preheated grill. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken has nice grill marks.
6. Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring maximum juiciness.
7. Garnish and Serve: After resting, slice the chicken and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.

By following these steps, you’ll achieve the ultimate juicy and flavorful chicken thighs that everyone will adore!
