Cooking Instructions

1. Prepare the Marinade

In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sriracha, minced garlic, and ginger. Add the chicken thighs and marinate for at least 30 minutes.

2. Cook the Chicken

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade (reserving the marinade) and add to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

3. Sauté Vegetables

In the same skillet, add sliced onion and bell pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes until soft.

4. Combine and Simmer

Return the chicken to the skillet, pour the reserved marinade over the top, and let simmer for another 5 minutes until sauce thickens slightly.

5. Garnish and Serve

Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving. Enjoy with rice or noodles.
