Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken thighs
- 2 large Fresh peaches
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Rinse and pat dry the chicken thighs. Season each piece generously with salt, black pepper, and thyme on both sides. Set aside.
Slice the fresh peaches into wedges, removing the pits. Mince the garlic cloves.
In a small bowl, mix honey, soy sauce, red chili flakes, and lemon juice to create the glaze. Stir well until combined.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the chicken thighs skin-side down and sear until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes. Flip and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the peach wedges into the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened and caramelized. Pour in the honey-soy glaze, stirring to blend with the peach juices.
Return the chicken thighs to the skillet and spoon the peach sauce over the top. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-12 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt or chili flakes if desired.
Serve the Spicy Georgia Peach Chicken hot with the caramelized peaches and sauce spooned over the top. Pair with rice, mashed potatoes, or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
