Chicken

2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs Juicy and tender, ideal for this recipe.
1/2 cup honey Adds sweetness and helps create a glaze.
1/4 cup soy sauce Provides savory depth of flavor.
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar Adds acidity to balance sweetness.
4 cloves garlic, minced Gives a rich aroma and taste.
1 teaspoon ground ginger Adds warmth and spice.
1/2 teaspoon black pepper Enhances overall flavor.
2 tablespoons vegetable oil Used for cooking the chicken.
2 green onions sliced (for garnish) Adds fresh crunch and color.
sesame seeds (for garnish) Provides nutty flavor and presentation.

Marinate the chicken by whisking together honey, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, ground ginger, and black pepper in a large bowl. Add chicken thighs and coat well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours.
Prepare the honey garlic sauce by heating the reserved marinade in a small saucepan over medium heat until it simmers and thickens slightly. Set aside.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add marinated chicken thighs and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
Glaze the chicken with the honey garlic sauce by pouring it into the skillet and simmering for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve with the thickened sauce drizzled over the top.
