Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken thighs (boneless, skinless)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh ginger
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 2 stalks Scallions (green onions)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

Grate the fresh ginger and mince the garlic cloves. Thinly slice the scallions and set them aside for garnish.

Step 2

Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, and water to create the sauce. Set aside.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the vegetable oil. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken thighs in a single layer.

Step 5

Cook the chicken for 4-5 minutes on one side until golden brown, then flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes on the other side.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low, add the grated ginger and minced garlic to the pan, and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir frequently to prevent burning.

Step 7

Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for 5-7 minutes, spooning the sauce over the chicken occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat and let the chicken rest for 2 minutes. Garnish with the sliced scallions before serving.

Step 9

Serve the gingered chicken hot with steamed rice or your favorite side dish.
