Step-by-Step Instructions
- Marinate Chicken: In a mixing bowl, combine chicken thighs with low-sodium soy sauce, honey, apple cider vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes. Stir until the chicken is well-coated, then cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Cook Rice: Rinse 1 cup of jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and 2 cups of chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes until liquid is absorbed.
- Cook Chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 6-8 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F). Remove and let rest.
- Prepare Sauce: In the same pan, pour in the remaining marinade. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Mix cornstarch with water, then add to the sauce. Cook for about 3-5 minutes until thick and glossy.
- Serve: Slice the rested chicken into bite-sized pieces. Serve over the jasmine rice, drizzling the sticky sauce on top. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes
Marinate chicken overnight for deeper flavor. Always rinse jasmine rice before cooking for a fluffier texture.
