Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 3 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp water
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced
- 1 tsp sesame seeds
- 2 tbsp neutral oil (like vegetable or canola)
Directions
Step 1
Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, rice vinegar, grated ginger, and minced garlic to make the sauce.
Step 3
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the neutral oil.
Step 4
Once the oil is hot, add the chicken pieces to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
Step 5
Pour the sauce over the chicken and stir to coat evenly. Let it simmer for 3 minutes.
Step 6
In a separate small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Pour the slurry into the skillet and stir well to thicken the sauce. Cook for another 2 minutes until the sauce has thickened and clings to the chicken.
Step 7
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the dish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
Step 8
Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles and enjoy!
