Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 6 pieces fresh red chilies (such as bird's eye chili)
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 0.333 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
- 2 stalks green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 0.25 cup peanuts, crushed
- 2 cups white rice, cooked
Directions
Step 1
Prepare the chicken thighs by patting them dry with paper towels. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the sesame oil. Once hot, add the chicken thighs and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the minced garlic and red chilies. Stir-fry for about 1 minute until fragrant, taking care not to burn the garlic.
Step 4
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, lime juice, and water. Pour the mixture into the skillet and bring to a simmer.
Step 5
Mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to make a slurry. Slowly add the slurry to the sauce, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
Step 6
Slice the cooked chicken thighs into strips and return them to the skillet, tossing to coat in the sauce.
Step 7
Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds, crushed peanuts, and chopped green onions over the chicken.
Step 8
Serve the chicken over a bed of freshly cooked white rice for a complete meal. Optionally, garnish with additional chilies or lime wedges for extra heat and brightness.
