Description
A flavorful and spicy chicken dish that combines ginger, soy sauce, and honey for a delicious dinner option.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
- Sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, grated ginger, red pepper flakes, and black pepper. Whisk until well blended.
- Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until softened.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade (reserving the marinade) and add it to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
- Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet and bring to a simmer. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
- Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add more red pepper flakes or a dash of sriracha to the marinade.
- Serve over steamed rice or quinoa for a complete meal, and add steamed broccoli or snap peas for extra veggies.
