1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon vegetable oil

1/4 cup water
4 teaspoons arrowroot
6 skinless chicken thigh fillets

Combine sugar, soy sauce, lemon juice, oil, garlic and ginger in a small saucepan. Combine water with
arrowroot in a small bowl and stir until arrowroot is dissolved. Add to saucepan and turn heat to high.
Stir often while bringing mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 4 to 6 minutes or until

Preheat your grill on high for the chicken. When the grill is hot, rub each chicken piece with oil and cook the chicken for 4 to 6 minutes per side or until done. Chicken should have browned in spots.

When chicken is done, chop it into bite-size pieces. Pour the chicken pieces into a large frying pan over medium heat. Heat until chicken sizzles then reduce heat and cover chicken until ready to serve. Spoon
chicken into a medium bowl, then pour all the sauce over the chicken and stir until well-coated. Serve
