Soy‑Ginger Glazed Chicken Thighs

Ingredients

• 2 pieces bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
• 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 8 ounces bok choy, halved
• 2 tablespoons water(optional)

Instructions

1. 1

   Pat the chicken thighs dry and season lightly with salt and pepper.

2. 2

   Heat the oil in a skillet over medium‑high heat; add the chicken thighs skin‑side down and sear 4‑5 minutes until golden, then flip.

3. 3

   While the chicken cooks, whisk together soy sauce, ginger, garlic, honey, and water in a small bowl.

4. 4

   Pour the glaze over the chicken, reduce heat to medium, and cook another 6‑8 minutes, basting occasionally, until the chicken reaches 165 °F and the glaze thickens.

5. 5

   Meanwhile, steam the bok choy in a separate pot or steamer basket for 3‑4 minutes until tender‑crisp.

6. 6

   Serve the glazed chicken thighs over the steamed bok choy, drizzling any remaining glaze from the pan.
