Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 0.33 cup honey
- 0.25 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1.5 teaspoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- 2 stalks green onions, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place the chicken thighs in a large baking dish, ensuring they are in a single layer.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, ketchup, rice vinegar, minced garlic, ground ginger, and sesame oil to create the marinade.
Pour the marinade evenly over the chicken thighs, ensuring each piece is coated well.
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
While the chicken is baking, mix the cornstarch and water in a small bowl to create a slurry.
After 20 minutes, remove the foil from the baking dish. Pour the cornstarch slurry into the marinade in the dish, stirring gently to combine.
Return the chicken to the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Once done, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions, if desired. Serve immediately with steamed rice or noodles.
