Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) chicken thighs, boneless and skinless

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup soy sauce (low sodium recommended)

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)

2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for cooking)

1/4 cup green onions, sliced (for garnish)

1 sesame seeds (for garnish)

Steamed rice or quinoa (for serving)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes. Stir well until the ingredients are combined. Add the chicken thighs to the bowl, ensuring they are fully submerged in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for intense flavor).

    Cook the Chicken: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from the marinade, reserving the marinade for later. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken thighs to the skillet. Sear them for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/75°C).

      Glaze the Chicken: Once the chicken is cooked, reduce the heat to medium and pour the reserved marinade into the skillet. Bring it to a simmer. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, turning the chicken occasionally, until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken well.

        Serve: Remove the chicken from the skillet and slice it into bite-sized pieces if desired. Serve over a bed of steamed rice or quinoa, drizzling the thickened honey garlic sauce over the top. Garnish with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
