Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken thighs (boneless, skinless)
• 0.5 cups Hoisin sauce
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Sriracha
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Cooking oil (such as vegetable or canola)
• 2 stalks Green onions (sliced, for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized bowl, prepare the marinade by whisking together hoisin sauce, soy sauce, sriracha, rice vinegar, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil until well combined.

Step 2

Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and toss to evenly coat in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat and add the cooking oil.

Step 4

Remove the chicken thighs from the marinade (reserving the remaining marinade) and place them into the hot skillet. Sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Step 5

Lower the heat to medium and pour the reserved marinade over the chicken. Cover the skillet and let the chicken cook for an additional 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Step 6

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

Step 7

Plate the chicken and drizzle any remaining sauce from the skillet over the top.

Step 8

Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if desired. Serve warm with steamed rice or your favorite veggies.
