Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces chicken thighs, skinless and boneless
- 0.5 cup soy sauce
- 0.25 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon ginger, freshly grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic until well combined. Set aside.
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs and sear for 5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Reduce the heat to medium and pour the prepared sauce over the chicken. Cover the skillet and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, turning the chicken occasionally, until it is cooked through.
In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with water until smooth. Stir this mixture into the simmering sauce in the skillet.
Continue to simmer the chicken in the sauce, uncovered, for an additional 5 minutes or until the sauce has thickened to your liking.
Transfer the chicken to a serving platter and spoon the thickened glaze over the top.
Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Enjoy your Nut-Free Asian Glazed Chicken with steamed rice or your choice of side.
