- – 1 tablespoon (15 ml) sweet chili sauce
- – 1 tablespoon (15 ml) freshly grated ginger

Instructions
- Warm 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Sprinkle salt and pepper on the boneless chicken thighs as desired, then place them in the pan.
- Sauté the chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Once cooked, set the chicken aside.

- Return the chicken to the pan, ensuring each side is well-coated with the glaze. Let the chicken simmer in the sauce until it becomes thick.
- Take the pan off the heat and sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onions on top before serving.
Notes
- Marinate chicken thighs in sauce for 30 minutes before cooking for enhanced flavor.
- Adjust sweet chili sauce and red pepper flakes for desired spice level.
- Baste chicken with glaze while simmering to maximize flavor absorption.
