Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 60 ml Soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
- 2 tsp Sesame oil
- 1 tbsp Fresh ginger
- 3 Garlic cloves
- 1 tbsp Cornstarch
- 60 ml Water
- 2 Green onions
- 1 tbsp Sesame seeds
- 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
Instructions
Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic to prepare the sauce.
In another small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water until smooth to create a slurry. Set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and sauté for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden-brown and cooked through.
Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken and stir to coat evenly.
Reduce the heat to medium and let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Add the cornstarch slurry to the skillet and stir well. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
Slice the green onions thinly, and sprinkle them over the chicken along with the sesame seeds.
Serve the Oriental Chicken hot over steamed rice or noodles.
