Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 6 pieces fresh red chilies (such as bird's eye chili)
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 0.333 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
- 2 stalks green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 0.25 cup peanuts, crushed
- 2 cups white rice, cooked
Instructions
Prepare the chicken thighs by patting them dry with paper towels. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the sesame oil. Once hot, add the chicken thighs and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the minced garlic and red chilies. Stir-fry for about 1 minute until fragrant, taking care not to burn the garlic.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, lime juice, and water. Pour the mixture into the skillet and bring to a simmer.
Mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to make a slurry. Slowly add the slurry to the sauce, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
Slice the cooked chicken thighs into strips and return them to the skillet, tossing to coat in the sauce.
Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds, crushed peanuts, and chopped green onions over the chicken.
Serve the chicken over a bed of freshly cooked white rice for a complete meal. Optionally, garnish with additional chilies or lime wedges for extra heat and brightness.
