Ingredients
- 5 skin-on bone-in chicken thighs
Marinade
- 3 green onion chopped
- 4 tablespoon lime juice fresh
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoon ginger chopped
- 2 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- ¾ teaspoon white sugar or cane sugar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine marinade ingredients and whisk until sugar has dissolved.
- Add in chicken thighs and marinate overnight for maximum flavor or at least 3 hours. Tip: if you poke holes into the chicken with a fork this helps the marinade seep deeper into the meat.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large pan on medium-high heat, add chicken thighs skin side down. Brown on each side for 2-3 minutes per side. Once you lay the chicken down, do not constantly move it around. Allow the pan to do its work so it can evenly brown.
- Pour the remaining marinade over the chicken.
- Lower heat to medium and cover with a lid. Cook for 15-20 minutes until meat is cooked at the bone and juices run clear or until an internal temperature of 165 F with a digital instant read thermometer. Transfer cooked chicken to a serving dish.
- Deglaze the pan with a few tablespoons of water and pour the juices over the chicken. Serve and enjoy!
