Instructions

Step 1: In a bowl, combine 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil to create the marinade. Add 6 boneless chicken thighs and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Step 2: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Remove chicken from marinade, reserving the marinade for basting.
Step 3: Grill chicken thighs for 6-7 minutes per side, brushing occasionally with reserved marinade, until internal temperature reaches 165°F and edges are slightly charred.
Step 4: While chicken grills, mix 1/2 cup chopped scallions, 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tbsp vegetable oil, and 1/4 tsp black pepper in a bowl for a bright scallion salad.
Step 5: Serve grilled chicken thighs topped with the scallion salad for a fresh, savory contrast.
