Honey Soy Chicken

Honey Soy Chicken is a delightful balance of sweet and savory flavors, perfect for a healthy weeknight dinner. This dish features tender chicken marinated in a rich honey-soy glaze, grilled to perfection for a satisfying meal.

Ingredients

• Chicken thighs - 300 grams, boneless and skinless
• Soy sauce - 3 tablespoons
• Honey - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
• Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon
• Rice vinegar - 1 tablespoon
• Green onions - 2 stalks, chopped (for garnish)

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, and rice vinegar to create the marinade.
2. Place the chicken thighs in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Seal or cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
3. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off.
