Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken thighs (boneless, skinless)
- 6 pieces garlic cloves
- 0.25 cups soy sauce
- 0.25 cups honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley or green onions (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Set them aside.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, honey, and apple cider vinegar. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the butter in a large skillet over medium heat until the butter melts.
Add the chicken thighs to the skillet and sear for 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil. Reduce the heat to low and add the minced garlic, cooking for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
Pour in the soy sauce-honey mixture and stir to combine with the garlic. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to make a slurry. Gradually add the slurry to the skillet, stirring constantly, until the glaze thickens.
Return the chicken thighs to the skillet and toss them in the glaze until evenly coated. Let the chicken cook in the glaze for another 2-3 minutes, spooning the sauce over the top as it simmers.
Remove the skillet from heat. Garnish the chicken with chopped parsley or green onions, if desired.
Serve hot with your choice of rice, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables.
