Instructions
Follow these clear steps to create your Spicy Ginger Chicken Delight:
1. Marinate the Chicken: In a large bowl, combine the minced ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, chili paste, and honey. Add the chicken thighs and mix well to coat. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes; longer for more flavor if time allows.
2. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet or wok, heat a tablespoon of sesame oil over medium-high heat.
3. Cook the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade (reserve the marinade for later) and add to the hot skillet. Sear the chicken on both sides until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Cook until fully done and juices run clear. Remove and set aside.
4. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and peppers. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until they are tender yet still crisp.
5. Combine Everything: Return the chicken to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Pour in the reserved marinade and chicken broth. Stir well to combine.
6. Simmer: Reduce the heat to medium and let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and everything is well coated.
7. Season to Taste: Check for seasoning and add salt and pepper as desired.
8. Garnish: Serve your Spicy Ginger Chicken Delight hot, garnished with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for an extra touch.
