Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken thighs (boneless, skinless)
- 0.5 cups Hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Cooking oil (such as vegetable or canola)
- 2 stalks Green onions (sliced, for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, prepare the marinade by whisking together hoisin sauce, soy sauce, sriracha, rice vinegar, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil until well combined.
Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and toss to evenly coat in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.
Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat and add the cooking oil.
Remove the chicken thighs from the marinade (reserving the remaining marinade) and place them into the hot skillet. Sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Lower the heat to medium and pour the reserved marinade over the chicken. Cover the skillet and let the chicken cook for an additional 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Once cooked through, remove the skillet from heat and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes.
Plate the chicken and drizzle any remaining sauce from the skillet over the top.
Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if desired. Serve warm with steamed rice or your favorite veggies.
