Weights are estimates. Together, the ingredients weigh about 1.58 kg before cooking, which is about 395 g per serving.
Steps
Cut the boneless, skinless chicken thighs into thick cubes. Mince the garlic and prepare the remaining ingredients.
In a bowl, combine the chicken with the honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, ketchup, and minced garlic. Stir until all the pieces are well coated.
Cover the bowl and marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes. If marinating for longer, keep it refrigerated.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and grease it with the vegetable oil.
Add the marinated chicken to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for approximately 5 minutes per side, turning when the surface is golden brown.
Continue cooking until the chicken is fully cooked and the sauce has thickened and darkened slightly. The center of the chicken should reach 74 °C (165 °F).
Remove the skillet from the heat. Let the chicken rest for a couple of minutes so the sauce adheres better.
Divide the freshly cooked rice among bowls and place the honey-sweetened chicken on top.
If desired, finish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve hot.
Notes
The quantities do not appear in the description or transcript; they have been estimated for 4 servings. The author indicates marinating for at least 15 minutes and that the sesame seeds and green onions are optional. Refrigerate leftovers in a sealed container for up to 3 days and reheat gently.
