Instructions

Step 1: Pat dry 1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs and season lightly with salt. Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Step 2: Add the chicken thighs skin side down and cook for 5-6 minutes until golden brown and crispy on the edges, then flip and cook the other side for 4 minutes.
Step 3: Reduce heat to medium and add 3 minced garlic cloves and 1 tablespoon finely grated fresh ginger root, stirring quickly for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 4: Pour in 1/4 cup soy sauce and 2 tablespoons honey, stirring to coat the chicken. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens and glazes the chicken.
Step 5: Remove from heat and garnish with 2 thinly sliced green onions and 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds before serving.
