Instructions

1- Marinate the Chicken:

Place the chicken thighs in a large bowl.
Add the soy sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper.
Mix well, ensuring the chicken is evenly coated.
Let marinate for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

2- Prepare the Sauce:

In a medium bowl, combine the chicken broth, soy sauce, Mirin, sesame oil, cornstarch, chili garlic sauce, honey, and rice vinegar.
Whisk the ingredients until well combined. Set aside.

3- Cook the Chicken:

Heat a skillet over high heat and add the butter and olive oil.
Once the butter is melted and slightly bubbly, add the marinated chicken thighs to the skillet.
Cook each side for about 4-5 minutes until they turn golden brown.

4- Add Garlic and Sauce:

Stir in the chopped garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, ensuring it doesn't burn.
Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken. Stir well.

5- Finish Cooking:

Let the chicken cook in the sauce for an additional 3-4 minutes.
The sauce should thicken and coat the chicken, forming a shiny glaze.

6- Serve:

Plate the chicken with a side of white rice and steamed broccoli.
Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for a finishing touch.
