Teriyaki Chicken Thighs with Asparagus Salad

These are skinless and boneless thighs.  The dark meat is rich and delicious!  
So gather up the ingredients and let's get cooking.

6 Chicken thighs 
1/4  C. low sodium Soy Sauce
2 Tbl. Rice Vinegar
2 Tbl. Brown Sugar
2 garlic cloves, grated or minced
1 tsp. grated fresh ginger root
1/4 tsp. Red Pepper Flakes.


Combine the marinate ingredients, mix well, and pour into a zip lock bag.  
Throw in the chicken thighs, mush them around.


Seal the bag and into the fridge for 2-4 hours.


Here's a close up on grating the ginger root, do the garlic the same way!


Time's up!  Take the chicken thighs out of the marinate,
and arrange them on a broiler pan.
Turn the oven broiler on high and broil these for 8 - 10 minutes,
flip them over and broil for another 8 minutes.  They will be really tender!


The finished product.  Tender and very flavorful.  
Note: sprinkle on some sesame seeds.


There was fresh asparagus at the store today, 
so along with the chicken I made this salad:

Slice some asparagus spears crosswise into about 1 1/2 inch slices
Slice some mushrooms, and halve a few grape tomatoes.
Steam the asparagus until tender crisp, 
and saute the mushrooms in olive oil until tender.


Mix up the dressing:  
1 part soy sauce, 1 part oyster sauce, 1 part olive oil, 1 part  honey.
Pour on the dressing, toss and mmmmmmm.
Serve this salad cold or at room temp.


Enjoy, friends!
