Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F. Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels and place on a sheet pan in a single layer.

  2. Step 2

    Whisk together soy sauce, mirin, rice vinegar, honey, and minced garlic in a small bowl.

  3. Step 3

    Pour the sauce over the chicken, turning each piece to coat. Spread evenly across the pan.

  4. Step 4

    Roast for 14–16 minutes until chicken is cooked through and sauce begins to caramelize at the edges.

  5. Step 5

    Remove from oven, scatter scallions across the pan, and return to oven for 2 minutes until scallions soften.

  6. Step 6

    Divide between plates, drizzle with pan glaze, and scatter sesame seeds on top if desired. Serve hot.
