Ingredients

• Chicken thighs - 300 grams
• Honey - 2 tablespoons
• Soy sauce - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
• Lime juice - 1 tablespoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Rice (jasmine or basmati) - 150 grams
• Water - 300 milliliters
• Cucumber - 1 small, sliced
• Fresh cilantro - a handful, for garnish
• Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon

Steps

1. In a bowl, mix honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, lime juice, and black pepper to create a marinade.
2. Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a pot, combine the rice and water, and bring to a boil.
4. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-18 minutes or until the rice is cooked and water is absorbed.
5. While the rice is cooking, preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked and slightly charred.
6. Once the chicken is done, let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
7. Serve the sliced chicken over the cooked rice, garnished with cucumber slices, fresh cilantro, and a drizzle of sesame oil.
