Adam Liaw’s one-pan honey soy chicken
Honestly, it doesn’t get much easier than this. A bit of chicken in a pan plus a few seasonings equals a delicious meal with very little fuss.
Ingredients
1 tbsp vegetable oil
6 chicken thigh cutlets, skin on
½ cup soy sauce
¼ cup honey
2 tbsp sugar
¼ cup rice vinegar
2cm ginger, sliced
1 tsp toasted sesame seeds
Method
Step 1
Heat a large, lidded frying pan over medium heat and add the oil. Fry the chicken, skin-side down, until well browned. Add the soy sauce, honey, sugar, vinegar and ginger and about ½ a cup of water. Bring to a simmer, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Turn the chicken skin-side up, then spoon the sauce over the top of the chicken.
Step 2
Cover and simmer for 10 minutes until the chicken is cooked. Remove the chicken from the pan and boil the sauce until thick enough to coat a spoon. Spoon the sauce over the chicken and scatter generously with the sesame seeds.
