Ingredients

• 6 pieces chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
• 2 cups ginger ale
• 0.25 cups low-sodium soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 3 pieces garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 tablespoons fresh ginger (grated)
• 1 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 pieces green onions (sliced, for garnish)
• 1 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season them evenly with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 4

Place the chicken thighs skin-side down in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes, or until the skin is golden and crispy. Flip and cook for another 3 minutes on the other side.

Step 5

Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside. Discard any excess fat from the skillet, leaving about 1 tablespoon.

Step 6

In the same skillet, sauté the minced garlic and grated ginger for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 7

Pour in the ginger ale, soy sauce, and honey. Stir well to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 8

Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, skin-side up, and spoon some of the sauce over the top.

Step 9

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake uncovered for 30 minutes, basting the chicken with the sauce halfway through cooking.

Step 10

Once cooked, remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes.

Step 11

Garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds, if desired.

Step 12

Serve hot with steamed rice or your choice of side dish, and enjoy!
