Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs Boneless skinless chicken thighs Patted dry
  • 1/3 cup Honey
  • 1/3 cup Soy sauce Low-sodium
  • 1 tbsp Garlic Minced
  • 1 tsp Fresh ginger Grated or minced
  • 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp Sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil For searing
  • 2 tbsp Green onions Thinly sliced, for garnish
  • 2 cups White rice Cooked, for serving

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, fresh ginger, rice vinegar, and sesame oil until well combined.
  • Pat the chicken thighs completely dry with a paper towel and season lightly with salt and black pepper.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs and sear for 5 to 7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through to an internal temperature of 165 F.
  • Pour the prepared honey garlic sauce into the skillet over the chicken.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the sauce simmer for 3 to 5 minutes, turning the chicken occasionally, until the glaze thickens and evenly coats the meat.
  • Remove the skillet from the heat, garnish the chicken with sliced green onions, and serve immediately over warm cooked white rice.
