Description
A flavorful and spicy chicken dish featuring ginger and garlic, perfect for a quick weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, minced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped (for garnish)
- Sesame seeds (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced ginger, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, and black pepper. Whisk until well blended.
- Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off, and add the chicken to the skillet.
- Cook the chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice caramelized color.
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- Serve the chicken sliced, garnished with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
Notes
- For extra heat, add sliced fresh jalapeños to the marinade.
- Serve with steamed rice or quinoa to soak up the delicious sauce.
