Method
Preparation
- In a bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, garlic, and ginger. Whisk until smooth, ensuring the sugar is dissolved completely.
- Place the chicken thighs in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and massage it to ensure the chicken is well-coated. Refrigerate for at least 15-30 minutes (or up to 8 hours for deeper flavor).
Cooking
- In a large skillet, heat sesame oil over medium heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and place it in the skillet. Cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, until the chicken is golden and cooked through.
- In the same skillet, add the reserved marinade. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for a few minutes. If you want a thicker sauce, mix cornstarch with a little water and stir it into the sauce until thickened.
- Drizzle the sauce over the cooked chicken in the skillet or serve it on the side for dipping.
Serving
- Sprinkle the chicken with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving. Pair it with rice or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
Notes
Marinate for at least 30 minutes for optimal flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to three months.
