- Preparing the Marinade
Mix soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and black pepper in a bowl. Stir until the honey dissolves and the mixture becomes smooth and glossy.
- Marinating the Chicken
Place chicken pieces in the marinade and coat thoroughly. Let sit for at least 20 minutes to absorb flavor.
- Searing the Chicken
Heat a pan over medium-high heat. Add a little oil and sear the chicken on both sides until lightly browned. This step locks in juices and adds depth of flavor.
- Adding the Marinade
Pour the remaining marinade and water into the pan. Bring to a gentle simmer, ensuring the chicken is mostly submerged.
- Reducing the Sauce
Cook uncovered for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the sauce thickens into a sticky glaze that coats the chicken.
- Final Caramelization Increase heat slightly
for the last 2 minutes to deepen the color and caramelize the glaze without burning it.
- Serving Serve hot, garnished with
sesame seeds and sliced spring onions. Pair with steamed rice or noodles.
