Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces chicken thighs (boneless and skinless)
  • 0.25 cup soy sauce (Halal-compliant)
  • 2 tablespoons honey Can substitute with maple syrup
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon ginger (freshly grated)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
For Garnish
  • 2 pieces green onions (sliced)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, mix together the soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil. Add the chicken thighs to the mixture, making sure they are well coated. Cover the bowl and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to an hour for more flavor).
  2. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Cooking
  1. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Place the chicken thighs in the hot skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until the chicken is cooked through and the glaze has caramelized beautifully.
  2. If you like, add the remaining marinade to the skillet during the last few minutes of cooking to thicken it further.
Serving
  1. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice and serve with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and fresh green onions on top.

Notes

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge; they’ll last up to 3 days. This dish freezes well for up to 3 months. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat, adding a splash of water to maintain moisture.
