Main Ingredients
  • 1.5 lbs chicken thighs
  • 0.5 cup honey
  • 0.25 cup soy sauce
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon ginger grated
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • sesame seeds for garnish

Equipment

  • medium bowl
  • small bowl
  • large skillet
  • whisk

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create the sauce.
  2. In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in water to make a slurry; set aside.
Cooking
  1. Heat a large skillet or non-stick pan over medium-high heat, then add chicken thighs and cook for 5-7 minutes per side until browned and cooked through.
  2. Pour the honey garlic sauce over the chicken and bring to a simmer.
  3. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency, ensuring it coats the chicken well.
  4. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in half of the honey garlic sauce for at least 30 minutes before cooking. Adjust the amount of garlic and ginger to your taste. This dish pairs well with steamed rice and a side of your favorite vegetables.
