Ingredients

  • 8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 2 lbs)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated (optional, for extra flavor)

  • 2 tbsp water
  • 1 tsp cornstarch (for thickening sauce)
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds (for garnish)
  • 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Notes

  • Boneless, skinless chicken thighs or even chicken breasts can be used, but adjust cook time to prevent drying out.
  • For extra caramelization, place the coated chicken under the broiler for 2–3 minutes at the end.
  • If you prefer a lighter dish, reduce the honey slightly or replace part with a sugar-free alternative.
