Ingredients
1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1/2 tsp ginger powder
1 tbsp olive oil
Optional: Chopped green onions for garnish
Optional: Sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, and ginger powder until smooth and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken thighs in a single layer and sear for 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
Pour the prepared sauce mixture into the skillet over the chicken.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 3-4 minutes.
Baste the chicken frequently with the sauce using a spoon until the glaze is thick and glossy.
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop with a small splash of water to loosen the glaze.
For a crunchier texture, you can use bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, but remember to increase the cooking time accordingly.
