Ingredients

Chicken

  • 4 chicken thighs

Sauce

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch

Garnish

  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • Sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the chicken thighs to a lovely golden finish.
  2. Make the sauce: In a bowl, thoroughly mix together soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and cornstarch until smooth and well combined to create the sticky glaze.
  3. Coat the chicken: Place the chicken thighs evenly in a baking dish and pour the prepared sauce over them, making sure each piece is fully coated in the flavorful mixture.
  4. Bake the chicken: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through and the sauce has thickened to a sticky consistency that clings to the meat.
  5. Garnish and serve: Remove from the oven and sprinkle chopped green onions and sesame seeds over the top before serving for added freshness and texture.

Notes

  • You can use bone-in or boneless chicken thighs depending on preference; bone-in tend to be juicier.
  • If you prefer a less sweet flavor, reduce the honey to 2 tablespoons.
  • For an extra kick, add a teaspoon of chili flakes to the sauce mixture.
  • Serve with steamed rice or sautéed vegetables to complete the meal.
  • Make sure to toss the cornstarch into the sauce well to avoid lumps and help thicken the glaze during baking.
