Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create the glaze.

Step 2

Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel and season them lightly with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 3

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken thighs and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium and pour the hoisin glaze over the chicken. Continue cooking for another 6-8 minutes, flipping occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and the glaze has thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 5

To prepare the cabbage slaw, combine the shredded cabbage, julienned carrot, sliced red bell pepper, scallions, and chopped cilantro in a large mixing bowl.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the rice vinegar, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing. Pour the dressing over the slaw and toss to coat evenly.

Step 7

Sprinkle the slaw with sesame seeds for garnish.

Step 8

Serve the hoisin glazed chicken alongside the cabbage slaw and lime wedges for squeezing over the top.
