Method

  1. Whisk honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil together.
  2. Season chicken and sear skin-side down in an oven-safe skillet, 6 minutes.
  3. Flip chicken, pour glaze over top. Transfer to 425°F oven for 15 minutes.
  4. Baste with pan juices halfway through cooking.
  5. Garnish with sesame seeds and scallions. Serve with steamed jasmine rice.

Timing

Allow roughly 6 minutes of preparation and 19 minutes of cooking. Read the method through once before you start so nothing waits on a pan you could have had going already.
