Ingredients

• 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs

• 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon grated ginger
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 green onion, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

1. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, and cornstarch.
2. Place the chicken thighs in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Make sure the chicken is well coated with the marinade. Cover the dish and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes, or up to overnight for maximum flavor.
3. Prepare your steamer. Fill a pot halfway with water and bring it to a boil. Place a steamer basket or rack in the pot.
4. Remove the chicken thighs from the marinade and place them in the steamer basket, skin-side up. Reserve the marinade for basting.
5. Cover the pot with a lid and steam the chicken thighs for 20-25 minutes, or until they are cooked through and the juices run clear. Baste the chicken with the reserved marinade every 5 minutes.
6. Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the steamer and transfer it to a serving dish. Sprinkle chopped green onions over the chicken for garnish.
7. Serve the Juicy Asian Steamed Chicken Thighs with steamed rice and your favorite vegetables. Enjoy!
