Description
Crispy bone-in chicken thighs glazed in a sticky honey-garlic sauce make for a crowd-pleasing weeknight dinner with minimal fuss.
Ingredients
- 4 chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on recommended, about 1.5–2 lbs total)
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Chopped green onions for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Whisk together honey, soy sauce, and minced garlic in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high and add olive oil.
- Place thighs skin-side down in the skillet and cook until golden brown (5–7 minutes).
- Flip thighs and brown the other side for another 5–7 minutes.
- Pour the honey-garlic sauce over the chicken and reduce heat to medium-low.
- Simmer uncovered until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and sauce thickens (8–12 minutes).
- Remove from heat and let thighs rest for 3–5 minutes. Garnish with green onions, if desired, then serve.
Notes
Use an instant-read thermometer for accurate doneness and ensure chicken is reheated to at least 165°F (74°C).
