Ingredients:

1 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs

1/2 cup soy sauce

1/2 cup honey

1/4 cup ketchup

2 tablespoons brown sugar

2 tablespoons rice vinegar

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger

1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

1 tablespoon cornstarch

2 tablespoons water

Sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the soy sauce, honey, ketchup, brown sugar, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and crushed red pepper flakes (if desired). Whisk well to blend the flavors.
Lay the chicken thighs in a baking dish, then pour the prepared sauce over them. Flip the chicken around to coat it evenly in the marinade.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Take the chicken out of the baking dish and set it aside.
Pour the leftover sauce from the baking dish into a small saucepan and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Mix together the cornstarch and water in a separate bowl until smooth. Gradually stir this mixture into the simmering sauce, cooking for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Return the chicken to the baking dish and drizzle the thickened sauce over the top.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions before serving.
