Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pat 8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add chicken skin-side down. Cook for 8 minutes until golden brown, then flip and cook for 5 more minutes.
  2. Step 2: Reduce heat to medium. Add 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp honey, and 1 tbsp water to the skillet, stirring to coat chicken. Simmer for 6-8 minutes until sauce thickens and coats the chicken, turning occasionally.
  3. Step 3: While chicken cooks, prepare rice: in a small bowl, mix 2 cups cooked rice with 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger, 4 thinly sliced scallions, 1 tsp sesame oil, and 1 tbsp sesame seeds. Toss gently until fragrant.
  4. Step 4: Transfer chicken to a plate and let rest for 3 minutes. Serve with ginger scallion rice, drizzling any remaining pan sauce over the chicken.
