Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2 teaspoons Curry powder
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 minced Garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
- 2 cups Cooked white or brown rice
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together honey, curry powder, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, ground ginger, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the chicken thighs in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish, and pour the marinade over the chicken. Ensure all pieces are evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 24 hours for deeper flavor.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil if necessary. Sear the marinated chicken thighs for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. This will lock in the flavors.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve the Honey Curried Chicken over cooked rice and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro, if desired.
