Cooking Instructions
Marinate the Chicken
Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Cook the Chicken
In a large skillet or pan, heat sesame oil over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken, reserving the marinade. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown.
Add the Marinade
Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet. Bring it to a simmer and cook for an additional 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Serve
Slice the chicken and serve it warm, drizzled with the sauce. Garnish with chopped green onions and black pepper to taste.
