Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by patting the chicken thighs dry with paper towels; this ensures a crispy sear.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of oil.
- Place the chicken thighs in the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Sear for about 5-7 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.
- Carefully flip the chicken thighs using tongs to prevent tearing. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, adjusting the heat as needed to maintain a steady sizzle.
- Remove the thighs from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger until fully combined.
- In a small bowl, combine cornstarch with a couple of tablespoons of water. Whisk until smooth.
- Return the seared chicken thighs to the skillet over medium heat.
- Pour the honey garlic sauce mixture over the chicken. Allow the sauce to come to a gentle simmer for about 1-2 minutes.
- Stir in the cornstarch slurry gradually, whisking continuously until the sauce thickens.
- Serve the chicken thighs hot, garnished with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
