Fast Chinese Butter Chicken

6-8 chicken thighs (skinless and boneless)
1 tablespoon grated ginger or 1 teaspoon powdered ginger
1 large clove of garlic grated or minced or 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup brown sugar (lightly packed0
1/8 teaspoon sambal (garlic chili paste)
few dashes of dark sesame oil
1/2 stick of butter (1/4 cup)
a few green onions sliced thinly on the bias

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Place chicken thighs in a 9X13 baking dish. Mix soy, garlic, ginger, sambal, and sesame oil in a cup or small bowl. Evenly distribute the brown sugar over chicken, pour sauce over the top, and place a pat of butter on each chicken thigh. Bake at 325 for 45 minutes or until the centers reach 165 degrees.

Sprinkle the dish with the chopped green onions and serve with rice and your favorite vegetable. The sauce is really good over broccoli.
