Method
Preparation
- 1
Marinate the Chicken
In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, honey, grated ginger, minced garlic, and sesame oil. Whisk until well incorporated. 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 best flavor.
Cooking

Cook the Chicken
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and add it to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 75°C or 165°F).

Add the Marinade
Once the chicken is cooked, pour the reserved marinade into the skillet. Let it simmer for an additional 3-4 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and coat the chicken.

Plate and Garnish
Remove the skillet from heat. Serve the ginger chicken on a plate and drizzle with the thickened sauce. Top with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds for garnish.
