A quick and easy recipe featuring boneless chicken thighs glazed with a sweet and savory honey garlic sauce, perfect for busy weeknights or cozy dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1/4 cup (85 grams) honey
  • 1/3 cup (80 ml) soy sauce (low sodium recommended)
  • 3–4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) olive oil
  • Ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon (5 grams) cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) water

Instructions

  1. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to ensure better browning and glaze adherence.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and rice vinegar. Set aside.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot and sizzling.
  4. Add chicken thighs in a single layer without crowding the pan. Sear for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown.
  5. Remove the chicken from the skillet and reduce heat to medium.
  6. Pour the honey garlic sauce into the skillet and bring to a simmer.
  7. Mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry and stir it into the simmering sauce. Cook for 1-2 minutes until thickened.
  8. Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, turning to coat thoroughly with the glaze. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, spooning sauce over the chicken.
  9. Season with black pepper and red pepper flakes if desired. Remove from heat and serve.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure proper browning. Pat chicken dry before cooking for better sear. Add honey after searing to prevent burning. Stir the cornstarch slurry constantly to avoid clumps. Use medium heat when glazing to avoid bitterness. If glaze thickens too much, add a splash of water to loosen it.
