Step 1

In a large pot, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing until fragrant and golden, about 1 minute. Your kitchen will smell heavenly!

Step 2

Add the chicken thighs to the pot, searing them for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they turn a beautiful golden brown. Let those juices lock in!

Step 3

Pour in the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and sriracha sauce, stirring everything together until the chicken is coated in that glossy, sticky goodness.

Step 4

Next, add the jasmine rice and chicken broth to the pot, gently stirring to combine all the flavors. Bring it to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover. Let it simmer for 20 minutes, allowing the rice to absorb all that rich flavor.

Step 5

After 20 minutes, turn off the heat and let the pot sit, covered, for another 5 minutes. This is the perfect time for the rice to fluff up and become irresistibly tender.

Step 6

Fluff the rice with a fork, then slice the chicken into bite-sized pieces. Stir everything together, allowing the sauce to coat the rice and chicken beautifully.

Step 7

Serve hot, garnished with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds for that extra crunch!
