Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 0.5 cup Hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 Green onions, sliced (optional for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional for garnish)
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together hoisin sauce, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Set the sauce mixture aside.
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season them lightly with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add vegetable oil. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken thighs in a single layer.
Sear the chicken for 4-5 minutes on one side until golden brown. Flip the chicken and cook for another 4-5 minutes on the other side.
Reduce the heat to medium, then pour the sauce mixture over the chicken thighs. Use a spoon to coat the chicken evenly with the sauce.
Simmer the chicken in the sauce for 8-10 minutes, flipping occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F) and the sauce has thickened to a glaze-like consistency.
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the chicken to a serving platter. Spoon any remaining sauce over the chicken.
Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired. Serve hot with steamed rice or stir-fried vegetables for a complete meal.
