– 1/2 cup hoisin sauce
– 2 tablespoons soy sauce
– 1 tablespoon honey
– 2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions
Creating Sticky Hoisin Chicken can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together hoisin sauce, soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and black pepper.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for deeper flavor).
3. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add a little oil and let it heat up.
4. Cook the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and place it in the hot skillet. Cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
5. Add the Marinade: Pour the reserved marinade over the chicken in the skillet. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken.
6. Garnish: Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the chicken with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
7. Serve: Transfer the chicken to a serving platter and drizzle with any remaining sauce from the skillet.
