Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, orange juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, and chili flakes. Set aside a small amount of the marinade for later use.

  2. Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. Seal and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  3. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or line with parchment paper.

  4. Remove chicken from marinade and place in prepared baking dish. Season with salt and pepper.

  5. Bake chicken for 25-30 minutes until cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

  6. While chicken bakes, heat reserved marinade in a small saucepan over medium heat.

  7. Mix cornstarch and water in a small bowl until smooth. When marinade simmers, whisk in cornstarch mixture.

  8. Cook and stir until glaze thickens, about 2-3 minutes.

  9. Brush glaze over baked chicken. Return to oven and broil for 2-3 minutes until glaze caramelizes slightly.

  10. Remove chicken from oven and let rest for a few minutes.

  11. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.
