Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together chicken stock, honey, rice vinegar, dark soy sauce, and cornstarch.

  3. Flip the chicken thighs to sear the other side for another 5 minutes.
  4. Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken thighs, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
  5. Reduce heat to medium-low and let the chicken simmer in the sauce for 10-15 minutes until cooked through.
  6. Remove the pan from heat and serve the chicken hot over steamed rice or with sautéed vegetables.
