Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken thighs (boneless, skinless)
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 stalks Green onions (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (toasted, optional)
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger to make the glaze. Set aside.
Dissolve the cornstarch in the water in a separate bowl to create a slurry.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Season the chicken thighs lightly with salt and pepper (optional) and place them in the skillet.
Cook the chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.
Lower the skillet heat to medium and pour the prepared sauce into the same skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
Simmer the sauce for 2-3 minutes, then stir in the cornstarch slurry to thicken the glaze.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and spoon the glaze over the chicken to coat it evenly.
Allow the chicken to simmer in the glaze for an additional 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure it’s well coated and heated through.
Remove from heat and transfer the glazed chicken to a serving plate.
Garnish with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds, if desired.
Serve the Oriental Glazed Chicken hot with steamed rice or stir-fried vegetables.
