Can I use chicken breasts instead of thighs?

Chicken breasts will work, but keep in mind they tend to cook faster than thighs. Adjust the cooking time to prevent them from drying out. Use a meat thermometer to ensure they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Follow the instructions at Pan Seared Chicken Breast .

My sauce is too thick/thin. What can I do?

If your sauce is too thick, add a tablespoon of water at a time until it reaches the desired consistency. If it's too thin, simmer it for a few more minutes to allow it to reduce and thicken.

Instructions

Remove any excess fat on the chicken thighs and place them on a cutting board. Stir together the salt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and smoked paprika. Sprinkle the seasoning mix on all sides of the chicken thighs.
Add the olive oil to a large skillet and heat it over medium-high heat. Place the chicken thighs smooth side down and cook until golden brown, about 6 to 8 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until cooked through, about 6 more minutes, until the internal temperature measures 165°F on a food thermometer when inserted at the thickest point.
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl whisk together the cornstarch and water. Then whisk in the soy sauce, rice vinegar, oil, honey, garlic powder, grated ginger and grated garlic. Pour it into a small skillet, bring to a simmer, and cook until the sauce thickens, about 2 to 3 minutes.
When the chicken is done, allow it to rest for 5 minutes. Drain the fat from the skilletand toss the chicken with sauce. Serve immediately. Leftovers store refrigerated for up to 3 days.
