Easy 30-Minute Soy Sauce Chicken
Ultra-tender chicken thighs are coated in a rich, deeply savory soy sauce glaze. This easy soy sauce chicken recipe is made in one pan and ready in just 30 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs skin-on bone-in chicken thighs (about 4 thighs)
- 1 green onion finely chopped
- 2 teaspoon vegetable oil or any neutral oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
Sauce
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger thinly sliced
- ¼ cup honey
- ¼ cup water room temperature
- 3 tablespoon regular soy sauce or light soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
- 2 teaspoon rice vinegar
Instructions
- Combine the sauce ingredients in a bowl and whisk until the honey fully dissolves. Set aside.
- Pat the chicken thighs completely dry with paper towels.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs skin-side down and sear for 2 minutes without moving. Flip and sear the other side for another 2 minutes.
- Pour the prepared sauce into the pan. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 7 minutes.
- Flip the chicken thighs skin-side down, cover, and cook for another 5-7 minutes, until the thickest part reaches 165°F without touching the bone.
- Turn the chicken thighs skin-side up and spoon the sauce over them several times. Remove from the heat and garnish with green onions.
