Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare Marinade

    In a mixing bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, olive oil, black pepper, and salt. Whisk together until well mixed.

  2. 2

    Marinate Chicken

    Place the chicken thighs in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring that each piece is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.

  3. 3

    Cook Chicken

    Preheat the grill or oven to 375°F (190°C). Remove the chicken from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and place it on the grill or in a baking dish. Cook for about 25-30 minutes, basting occasionally with the reserved marinade until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice glaze.

  4. 4

    Garnish and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving.
