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)
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for a little heat)
- 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.
