Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
- 0.5 cup Coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, minced
- 3 tablespoons Erythritol sweetener
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons Avocado oil
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together coconut aminos, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, minced ginger, erythritol, red pepper flakes, and black pepper. Set aside to allow flavors to meld.
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season them lightly with salt and additional black pepper if desired.
Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken thighs, smooth side down, and sear for about 5 minutes until browned.
Flip the chicken thighs and reduce the heat to medium. Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken.
Continue cooking the chicken in the sauce for an additional 10-12 minutes, turning them occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through, and the sauce is thickened and sticky.
Remove the skillet from the heat. Garnish the chicken with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
Serve the chicken immediately, spooning any extra sauce from the skillet over the top.
