Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 green onions, sliced for garnish
- Sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, grated ginger, minced garlic, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and black pepper.
- Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken thighs in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor.
- Cook the Chicken: Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, reserving the marinade for later. Cook the chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and caramelized.
- Glaze and Serve: In a small saucepan, bring the reserved marinade to a boil and simmer for a few minutes until it thickens slightly. Brush the glaze over the cooked chicken. Serve hot, garnished with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
