Sticky Soy Ginger Chicken: A Quick, One-Pan Weeknight Meal
Make this easy, one-pan sticky soy ginger chicken for a quick and flavorful weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and coated in a delicious sweet and savory glaze.
Ingredients
- 4 chicken thighs boneless
- 2 tbsp dark soy sauce
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger minced or grated
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 tsp chilli flakes optional
- salt
- 1 green onion to garnish
- sesame seeds to garnish
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the sauce ingredients: dark soy sauce, honey, lemon juice (or vinegar), 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, minced ginger, minced garlic, and chili flakes (if using). Set this delicious sauce aside for later use.
- Heat a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of sesame oil to the pan. Once the oil is hot, add your chicken pieces, seasoned with salt and pepper. Sauté the chicken until it is golden brown on all sides. This should take about 7-10 minutes.
- Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken in the pan. Use a spatula to scrape any extra sauce out of the bowl to ensure no flavor is left behind. Stir well to coat all the chicken pieces evenly.
- Reduce the heat to low and allow the sauce to simmer gently. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally. The sauce will begin to thicken and become beautifully sticky and glossy, coating the chicken perfectly.
- Remove the pan from the heat. Sprinkle the cooked chicken with green onions and sesame seeds for both color and added flavor. Serve immediately while hot, and enjoy this fantastic sticky soy ginger chicken!
