Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 5 skin-on bone-in chicken thighs
- 3 green onion (chopped)
- 4 tbsp lime juice (fresh )
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tbsp ginger (chopped )
- 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tbsp honey
- 3/4 tsp white sugar (or cane sugar)
- 1 tsp sesame oil
Instructions
- 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine marinade ingredients and whisk until sugar has dissolved.
- 2
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!
