Description
A flavorful and spicy chicken dish that combines ginger, garlic, and soy sauce for a delicious meal.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon 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 place the chicken in the skillet.
- Cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the chicken is nicely browned.
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice the chicken into strips.
- Serve the chicken warm, garnished with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
Notes
- For a milder version, reduce the amount of red pepper flakes or omit them entirely.
- Serve the chicken over steamed rice or quinoa for a complete meal, and add steamed vegetables for extra nutrition.
