Yield: 4 servings
Cuisine: Chinese
Ingredients: 1.5 lbs skin-on bone-in chicken thighs (4 pieces); 1 green onion (finely chopped); 2 tsp vegetable oil (or any neutral oil); 3 garlic cloves (minced); 1 tbsp ginger (thinly sliced); 1/4 cup honey (or corn syrup); 1/4 cup water (cold or room temp); 3 tbsp regular soy sauce (or light soy sauce); 1 tbsp dark soy sauce; 2 tsp rice vinegar (or apple cider vinegar / shaoxing wine / dry sherry)

1

In a small bowl, combine sauce ingredients as listed above and mix until honey is dissolved.

2

Optional: Rub salt all over the chicken thighs for about 10 seconds per side, then rinse under cold running water.

3

Pat dry the chicken thighs with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

4

Heat vegetable oil in a large pan on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken thighs skin-side down and sear for 2 minutes. Flip and sear the other side for 2 minutes. Avoid moving the chicken while it sears.

5

Add the sauce. Reduce to low-medium heat, cover, and simmer for 7 minutes.

6

Flip the chicken over. Cover and cook for another 5-7 minutes until cooked, or an internal temperature of 165ºF with a digital cooking thermometer.

7

Flip chicken again so it's skin-side up. Baste the sauce over the chicken. Remove off heat. Garnish with green onions and the sauce served on the side.
