Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Place the chicken thighs in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for more flavor.

  3. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Remove the chicken from the marinade, reserving the marinade for later. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken thighs for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.

  4. 4

    Bake the Chicken

    Pour the reserved marinade over the seared chicken in the skillet. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  5. 5

    Serve and Garnish

    Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.
