Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken thighs
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 0.25 cup Water
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 stalks Green onions, sliced
- 2 teaspoons Sesame seeds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season the chicken thighs with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken thighs, skin side down, and cook until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Flip and cook for another 3 minutes. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Reduce heat to low and add honey, apple cider vinegar, and ground coriander. Stir to combine and let it simmer for 2 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Add this to the skillet and stir until the glaze thickens, approximately 1-2 minutes.
Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, turning them in the glaze to coat evenly.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
Remove the skillet from the oven and sprinkle with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
Serve immediately with your choice of sides such as rice or steamed vegetables.
