Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil. Whisk together until well mixed. Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Remove the chicken from the marinade, reserving the marinade for later. Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs and sear them for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.

  2. 3

    Bake the Chicken

    Once the chicken is seared, pour the reserved marinade over the chicken in the skillet. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

  3. 4

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onions over the chicken before serving.
