Ingredients

For the Chicken

4 pieces Chicken Thighs The star of the dish

For the Marinade

1/2 cup Honey Great vegan substitute is maple syrup

Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel and season with salt and pepper. Prepare the marinade by combining honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, and ginger in a bowl.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and heat an oven-safe skillet on medium-high with a splash of oil.
Place the marinated chicken thighs skin-side down in the skillet and sear for 5-6 minutes until golden brown.
Pour the remaining marinade over the chicken and transfer the skillet to the oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
Broil for the last 2-3 minutes for an extra crispy finish, watching closely to prevent burning.
Let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
Slice the chicken and serve warm, garnished with green onions and sesame seeds.
