Preheat oven to 450°F.
2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the low sodium soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, honey, rice vinegar, and toasted sesame oil.

Pat the bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs dry with paper towels, then season all over with Kosher salt and ground black pepper.
4
Heat the canola oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high.

Add the chicken, skin-side down, and sear undisturbed for 3 minutes.

Cook the chicken until some of the fat has rendered and the skin is golden brown, about 8 minutes.
7
Carefully drain off the fat in the pan.
8
Flip the chicken pieces and pour the prepared sauce over the top.
9
Transfer the pan to the oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and the chicken is cooked through (165°F).

Remove chicken from the oven and use tongs to turn to coat in the sauce.

Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and thinly sliced scallions.

Serve with extra sauce from the pan drizzled on top.
