Delicious Ginger Garlic Chicken Recipe for a French Feast

Ingredients

Servings:
10
  • 1 pound chicken thighs (boneless and skinless)
  • 2 tablespoons ginger (freshly grated)
  • 2 tablespoons garlic (minced)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking)
  • 1 teaspoon honey (for sweetness)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine ginger, garlic, soy sauce, honey, black pepper, and salt.

    Let the marinade sit for 10 minutes to enhance the flavors.
  2. Marinate the Chicken

    Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

    Marinate for longer for a deeper flavor.
  3. Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.

    Make sure the oil is hot to sear the chicken properly.
  4. Cook the Chicken

    Remove chicken from marinade and place in the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through.

    Avoid overcrowding the pan for even cooking.
  5. Serve

    Transfer the chicken to a serving platter, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve hot.

    Pair with steamed vegetables or rice for a complete meal.
