Ingredients
Scale
- 4 bone-in or boneless chicken thighs
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt, pepper, and dried thyme if desired.
- In a small bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, and olive oil to create the honey garlic sauce.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with olive oil. Add chicken thighs skin-side down and sear for 5-7 minutes until golden brown. Flip and cook the other side for another 5-7 minutes.
- Pour the honey garlic sauce over the chicken in the skillet. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, spooning sauce over the chicken for a glossy glaze.
- Remove chicken from the skillet and let rest for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
- Use boneless chicken thighs for quicker cooking or bone-in for extra flavor.
- Adjust honey amount to favor sweeter or milder glaze.
- Ensure the skillet is hot enough for crispy searing.
- Watch sauce closely to prevent burning, especially if thickening.
