Ingredients

• 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 0.5 cup Hoisin sauce
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 2 Green onions, sliced (optional for garnish)
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together hoisin sauce, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Set the sauce mixture aside.

Step 2

Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season them lightly with salt and pepper on both sides.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Sear the chicken for 4-5 minutes on one side until golden brown. Flip the chicken and cook for another 4-5 minutes on the other side.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to medium, then pour the sauce mixture over the chicken thighs. Use a spoon to coat the chicken evenly with the sauce.

Step 6

Simmer the chicken in the sauce for 8-10 minutes, flipping occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F) and the sauce has thickened to a glaze-like consistency.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the chicken to a serving platter. Spoon any remaining sauce over the chicken.

Step 8

Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired. Serve hot with steamed rice or stir-fried vegetables for a complete meal.
