Step by step

Method

4 steps

  1. 1

    Cut 1½ pounds boneless chicken thighs into 1-inch pieces. Toss with ¾ teaspoon kosher salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper, and ¼ cup cornstarch until lightly coated.

  2. 2

    Heat 2 tablespoons neutral oil in a wide skillet over medium-high. Cook the chicken in one layer for 5–7 minutes, turning once or twice, until browned and 165°F. Work in batches if the pan is crowded, then transfer the chicken to a plate.

  3. 3

    Whisk ⅓ cup honey, ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce, ¼ cup water, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, and 1 teaspoon grated ginger. Pour into the skillet and simmer 2–3 minutes until glossy.

  4. 4

    Return the chicken and toss 1–2 minutes, until the glaze clings and bubbles around the pieces. Top with sesame seeds and scallions; serve with rice and steamed broccoli.
