  Chicken

• 2 tablespoons ginger-scallion sauce (recipe above)
• 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce

  For The Ginger-scallion Sauce

1. Add all of the ingredients into a small bowl and stir to combine.

  For The Chicken Thighs

1. In the bowl with the 2 tablespoons of reserved ginger-scallion sauce, add the soy sauce, rice vinegar, vegetable oil and sambal oelek. Whisk to combine, then add the chicken thighs. Stir to coat the chicken thighs in the marinade. Let the chicken marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.
2. Preheat a grill or pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken to a paper towel-lined baking sheet, smooth-side up. Season the smooth side with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
3. Transfer the chicken to the heated grill or pan, seasoned side down. Season the underside with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Grill for 10 minutes, rotating the chicken once.
4. Flip the chicken and cook for an additional 7 to 10 minutes, until the internal temp of the chicken is 165 f and has nice grill marks. Remove the chicken to a plate.
