Description
A simple and flavorful dish featuring juicy chicken thighs glazed with a sweet and savory honey garlic sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 3 tbsp honey
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp ginger, grated
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season with black pepper.
- Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken, skin-side down, until golden brown (about 5 minutes). Flip and cook for 3 more minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Stir in honey, soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar. Simmer for 2 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Return chicken to the skillet, skin-side up, and spoon sauce over it.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) internally.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
Notes
- Use skin-on thighs for crispiness, but skinless works too.
- Adjust red pepper flakes for more or less heat.
- For a thicker glaze, simmer sauce longer before baking.
- Serve with rice or steamed vegetables.
