A delightful recipe for tender chicken thighs marinated in a flavorful honey-soy glaze, perfect for grilling or baking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, honey, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, fresh ginger, black pepper, and sesame seeds.
Whisk the marinade thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well combined.
Place the chicken thighs in a baking dish and pour the marinade over them. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
For deeper flavor, marinate the chicken overnight.
Preheat your grill to medium heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill.
Brush the chicken with leftover marinade during grilling for extra flavor.
Cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked to the right temperature.
Serve the chicken thighs hot, garnished with additional sesame seeds if desired.
Pair with steamed rice and vegetables for a complete meal.
