Ingredients

• 500 grams Chicken thighs (boneless, skinless)
• 3 tablespoons Honey
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger (grated)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 stalks Scallions (sliced, for garnish)
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (toasted, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Clean and pat dry the chicken thighs. Cut them into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine honey, grated ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Mix well to create the marinade.

Step 3

Pour half of the marinade over the chicken pieces, reserving the other half. Mix the chicken well to coat evenly, cover, and refrigerate for 15 minutes.

Step 4

In another small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Set aside.

Step 5

Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken pieces and cook until golden brown, about 8-10 minutes. Stir occasionally for even cooking.

Step 6

Once the chicken is fully cooked, pour the reserved marinade into the skillet. Bring to a simmer and allow the flavors to combine, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 7

Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your liking.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with sliced scallions and toasted sesame seeds.

Step 9

Serve hot with steamed rice or sautéed vegetables for a complete meal.
