Method 4
- 01
Remove any excess fat on the chicken thighs and place them on a cutting board. Stir together the salt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and smoked paprika. Sprinkle the seasoning mix on all sides of the chicken thighs.
- 02
Add the olive oil to a large skillet and heat it over medium-high heat. Place the chicken thighs smooth side down and cook until golden brown, about 6 to 8 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until cooked through, about 6 more minutes, until the internal temperature measures 165°F on a food thermometer when inserted at the thickest point.
- 03
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl whisk together the cornstarch and water. Then whisk in the soy sauce, rice vinegar, oil, honey, garlic powder, grated ginger and grated garlic. Pour it into a small skillet, bring to a simmer, and cook until the sauce thickens, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- 04
When the chicken is done, allow it to rest for 5 minutes. Drain the fat from the skillet and toss the chicken with sauce. Serve immediately. Leftovers store refrigerated for up to 3 days.
