When I tried preparing chicken thighs as I usually do chicken breasts, it became surprisingly tender and juicy.
I had been using the same sauce for pork and tofu for a long time, but this was the first time I tried with chicken.

Don't forget to add coarsely ground black pepper to the chicken after adding the leek-salt sauce. (Freshly ground pepper is incredibly aromatic!)
If you add loads of lettuce and other vegetables, they taste amazing with the sauce from the chicken. Recipe by Hokkori-no
