Ingredients
- 6 pieces Chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
- 0.5 cup Coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, minced
- 3 tablespoons Erythritol sweetener
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons Avocado oil
Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, whisk together coconut aminos, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, minced ginger, erythritol, red pepper flakes, and black pepper. Set aside to allow flavors to meld.
Step 2
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season them lightly with salt and additional black pepper if desired.
Step 3
Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken thighs, smooth side down, and sear for about 5 minutes until browned.
Step 4
Flip the chicken thighs and reduce the heat to medium. Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken.
Step 5
Continue cooking the chicken in the sauce for an additional 10-12 minutes, turning them occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through, and the sauce is thickened and sticky.
Step 6
Remove the skillet from the heat. Garnish the chicken with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
Step 7
Serve the chicken immediately, spooning any extra sauce from the skillet over the top.
