How to Make Spicy Chinese Sesame Garlic Chicken
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons sesame oil, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon minced garlic, 1 tablespoon minced ginger, 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or more, to taste), and 1 teaspoon cornstarch.
- Add 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs (or breasts) to the bowl and toss to ensure each piece is fully coated in the marinade.
- For maximum flavor, marinate the chicken for 2-3 hours at room temperature. If you're short on time, you can skip this step and proceed directly to step 4.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Arrange the marinated chicken in a single layer in a baking dish.
- Pour any remaining marinade over the chicken.
- Bake for 45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is bubbly and slightly caramelized.
- Serve the Spicy Sesame Garlic Chicken hot over steamed rice. Garnish with chopped green onions (optional).
