Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger grated
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds for garnish
  • 2 tbsp sliced green onions for garnish

Equipment

  • 1 Large Skillet
  • 1 Mixing Bowl

Method
 

  1. Pat the chicken thigh pieces dry and season lightly with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces in a single layer and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the soy sauce and honey. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer. Allow it to bubble gently for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the glaze has thickened slightly.
  5. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Toss to coat the chicken completely in the sticky glaze. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.
