Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons sesame oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon grated ginger
1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
Chopped green onions for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger until well combined.
Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken in a resealable bag or dish, pour the marinade over it, and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours.
Cook the Chicken: Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and cook for 6-8 minutes on each side, until cooked through and golden brown.
Prepare the Glaze: In a small saucepan, bring the reserved marinade to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 5 minutes, until thickened slightly.
Glaze the Chicken: Brush the cooked chicken with the thickened glaze and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on each side to caramelize.
Serve: Transfer the chicken to a serving platter, drizzle with remaining glaze, and sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions, if desired.
