Ingredients

Main Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds chicken thighs boneless, skinless
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground

Soy Glaze

1/2 cup soy sauce low-sodium
1/4 cup brown sugar packed
2 tablespoons honey
3 cloves garlic minced
1 tablespoon ginger grated
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon rice vinegar

Garnish

2 tablespoons sesame seeds toasted
3 stalks scallions sliced

Instructions

1 Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and pat dry with paper towels.
2 In a large bowl, combine cornstarch, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken pieces and toss until evenly coated.
3 Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
4 In the same skillet, add minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
5 Add soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, sesame oil, and rice vinegar to the skillet. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.
6 Return the chicken to the skillet, tossing to coat in the glaze. Let it simmer for another 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens and the chicken is well glazed.
7 Transfer the glazed chicken to a serving dish. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and sliced scallions.
