Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken thighs (boneless, skinless)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 0.25 cup chicken stock
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- 4 pieces lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Season the chicken thighs on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken thighs to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in the honey, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and chicken stock. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the glaze starts to thicken slightly.
Return the chicken to the skillet, spoon the glaze over the chicken, and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Sprinkle fresh parsley over the chicken for garnish.
Serve the glazed chicken hot with lemon wedges on the side for extra flavor.
