For an extra layer of flavor, marinate the chicken thighs in half of the sauce mixture for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours) before cooking. Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to suit your spice preference. Serve with steamed rice, quinoa, or your favorite green vegetable for a complete and balanced meal. If you don't have fresh ginger root, you can substitute with 1 teaspoon of ground ginger.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a large skillet, whisk together chicken broth, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, honey, sugar, minced garlic, minced ginger, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes over medium heat. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
02
StepOnce the mixture begins to sizzle, add the chicken thighs, ensuring they are evenly coated. Bring the sauce to a boil, then immediately reduce the heat to low. (Cook time: 5 minutes)
03
StepSimmer gently, allowing the chicken to cook through until no longer pink inside and the juices run clear. An instant-read thermometer should register 165°F (74°C) when inserted into the thickest part of a thigh. This should take approximately 20 minutes. (Cook time: 20 minutes)
04
StepTransfer the cooked chicken thighs to a serving platter, leaving the remaining sauce in the skillet.
05
StepIncrease the heat to high and continue cooking the sauce until it reduces and thickens into a luscious glaze. Be careful not to burn the sauce; stir frequently. (Cook time: 5 minutes)
06
StepRemove the skillet from the heat and pour the glaze generously over the chicken thighs. Garnish with freshly chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
