Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless skinless chicken thighs
• 0.25 cups soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 2 stalks green onions, sliced
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
• 2 tablespoons cooking oil

Directions

Step 1

Start by patting the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel, then cut them into bite-sized pieces.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger to make the sauce.

Step 3

In a separate small bowl, mix the cornstarch with the water to create a slurry, and set it aside.

Step 4

Heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Add the chicken pieces to the skillet in a single layer and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they’re golden brown and fully cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to medium, then pour the sauce mixture into the skillet. Stir and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until the mixture starts to bubble slightly.

Step 7

Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook the sauce for another 1-2 minutes, or until it thickens to your desired consistency.

Step 8

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, toss to coat it evenly with the sauce, and cook for 1-2 additional minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the dish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.

Step 10

Serve the E Z Asian Chicken immediately over steamed rice or alongside your favorite vegetables. Enjoy!
