Ingredients
  

For the Marinade
  • 4 pieces chicken thighs bone-in, skin-on
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce low sodium
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon ginger grated
For Cooking
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds for garnish
  • 2 stalks green onions sliced, for garnish

Method
 

Marinate the Chicken
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, and ginger.
  2. Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for best flavor.
Cook the Chicken
  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Remove chicken from marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Place chicken thighs skin-side down in the hot skillet.
  3. Cook for about 7-8 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and golden brown.
  4. Flip the chicken thighs and pour the remaining marinade into the skillet. Reduce heat to medium, cover, and cook for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Serve
  1. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes.
  2. Serve the chicken thighs garnished with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Drizzle with any remaining sauce from the skillet.
