honey garlic chicken thighs
Succulent honey garlic chicken thighs with a glossy, savory-sweet glaze. Quick to cook and perfect for weeknights.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 lb bone-in skin-on chicken thighs
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.25 cup honey
- 0.25 cup soy sauce low-sodium
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 tsp salt
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Pat the chicken thighs dry and season with salt and pepper.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chicken thighs, skin-side down, and sear until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side.
- Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Pour in honey, soy sauce, and vinegar. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken, about 8 to 10 minutes.
- Remove from heat and serve hot. Optional: garnish with sesame seeds or chopped green onions.
Notes
Tip: For an extra glossy glaze, simmer a few minutes longer until thickened. Serve with rice or steamed vegetables.
