Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 6 Garlic cloves, minced
• 0.25 cup Gluten-free soy sauce
• 0.5 cup Honey
• 0.25 cup Water
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional)
• 2 Green onions, sliced (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, season the chicken thighs with salt and black pepper, then sprinkle with cornstarch, making sure each piece is evenly coated.

Step 2

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs in batches and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the gluten-free soy sauce, honey, water, and rice vinegar. Pour the mixture into the skillet with the garlic.

Step 5

Bring the sauce to a simmer and return the chicken thighs to the skillet. Cook for an additional 10 minutes, turning the chicken occasionally, until the sauce has thickened and the chicken is cooked through.

Step 6

Remove from heat and let the chicken rest for a couple of minutes to allow the sauce to meld with the chicken.

Step 7

Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions, if desired, and serve hot alongside your favorite gluten-free sides.
