Ingredients

5 Boneless Chicken Thighs
1/2 tsp Paprika
Salt and Pepper, to taste
1/4 cup Cornstarch
2 tbsp Cooking Oil

Honey Ginger Sauce

2" Fresh Ginger (about 2 tbsp ginger grated)
3 Garlic Cloves, minced about 1 tbsp minced garlic
1/4 cup Honey plus more as desired
1/4 cup Coconut Amino plus more as desired

Instructions

Grate the ginger and garlic. Then, add the honey, coconut aminos, grated ginger, and garlic to a small bowl. Whisk to combine.
Season the chicken thighs with salt, pepper, and paprika. Then lightly coat both sides with cornstarch.
In a skillet over medium-high heat, add cooking oil. Then, pan-fry the chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side or until crispy and golden brown. Remove and set them aside on a plate.
Carefully wipe the pan with a clean cloth or paper towel to remove any burnt pieces. Reduce the heat to medium-low, then pour the sauce into the skillet and simmer for about 1 minute. Then add the chicken thighs and cook for 2-3 minutes, flipping halfway through. Use a spoon to baste the chicken with the honey ginger sauce, making sure all parts are coated.
Serve in a bowl over rice with sides of your choice (broccoli or green beans are great!). Top with chopped scallions, edamame, red crushed peppers. Enjoy!
