Ingredients 

6 skinless, bone-in chicken thighs 
2 tablespoons oil 
1 teaspoon grated ginger 
1/4 cup soy sauce 
2 tablespoons honey 
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar 
1/2 piece of ginger 
1 red chillie, slit lengthwise 
1/2 teaspoon chillie flakes 
2 medium sized onions, roughly sliced 
1/4 cup chicken broth salt to taste 
Spring onions for topping 

Method 

Marinate the chicken with grated ginger, soy sauce, honey and vinegar for at least half an hour, and preferably overnight. In a pan, heat oil and saute the ginger julienne and red chillie. Fish out the chicken pieces from the marinade and add them to the hot pan. Reserve the marinade. Sear on high heat for 3 minutes on each side. Add onions, chili flakes, remaining marinade, broth and salt to the pan. Cover and cook for 20-25 minutes till the chicken is cooked through. The sauce will thicken as the chicken cooks. Sprinkle with chopped spring onions and serve hot.
