Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken thighs
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 0.5 teaspoons ground ginger
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic cloves, red chili flakes, and ground ginger to create the marinade.
Heat the olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Once hot, sear the chicken thighs skin-side down for 3-4 minutes until browned. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and add the unsalted butter to the skillet. Let it melt, then pour in the honey-soy marinade. Stir to coat the chicken evenly.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, basting the chicken with the sauce every 5 minutes.
Remove the skillet from the oven and drizzle the chicken with lime juice. Let it rest for 5 minutes.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve warm. Enjoy 'The Three Tastes of Temptation' with your favorite side dish!
