Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil

  • 6 chicken thigh cutlets, skin on

  • ½ cup soy sauce

  • ¼ cup honey

  • 2 tbsp sugar

  • ¼ cup rice vinegar

  • 2cm ginger, sliced

  • 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds

  • steamed rice to serve

Method

  1. Step 1

    Heat a large, lidded frying pan over medium heat and add the oil. Fry the chicken, skin-side down, until it is well browned. Add the soy sauce, honey, sugar, vinegar, ginger, and about ½ a cup of water. Bring to a simmer, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Turn the chicken skin-side up, then spoon the sauce over the top of the chicken.

  2. Step 2

    Cover and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and boil the sauce until it is thick enough to coat a spoon. Spoon the sauce over the chicken and scatter generously with the sesame seeds. Serve with steamed rice.
