Step 1
In a small bowl, whisk together the 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1 tbsp honey, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tsp sesame oil.
Step 2
Place the 1.5 lb chicken thighs in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Turn to coat, then let sit for 10 minutes.
Step 3
Transfer the chicken and marinade to a heatproof plate that fits in your steamer. Set the plate in the steamer over boiling water.
Step 4
Cover and steam over medium-high heat until the chicken is cooked through and juices run clear, about 25-30 minutes.
Step 5
Carefully remove the plate from the steamer. Slice the 1 red chili and 2 green onions, and scatter over the chicken.
Step 6
Spoon the accumulated juices from the plate over the chicken before serving.
