Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 2 tablespoons Curry powder
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, prepare the marinade by whisking together honey, curry powder, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
Place the chicken thighs in a shallow dish or a large resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are fully coated. Cover the dish or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for more flavor.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Once hot, sear the chicken thighs on both sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. This step locks in the flavors.
Pour any leftover marinade into the skillet with the chicken. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
Once cooked, remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve warm. Pair with rice, naan bread, or a crisp green salad for a complete meal.
