🍯 Honey Garlic Chicken Thighs – Sticky, Savory, and Irresistibly Good!
Craving a quick, flavor-packed chicken dinner that tastes like it came from a restaurant? These Honey Garlic Chicken Thighs deliver the perfect combo of sweet, salty, and garlicky goodness—all in one skillet. Perfect for busy weeknights or a cozy Sunday meal, this dish is juicy, sticky, and guaranteed to impress.
🛒 Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 6 chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on for that crispy golden finish)
- 4 garlic cloves, finely minced
- 1/3 cup honey (for that beautiful glaze)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (adds savory depth)
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (for a gentle tang)
🔥 How to Make It (In Just 3 Easy Steps):
1️⃣ Sear to Perfection
Place the chicken thighs skin-side down in a hot skillet. Let them sizzle until the skin becomes golden and crisp—this step locks in all the juicy flavor.
2️⃣ Mix the Magic Sauce
While the chicken sears, whisk together the garlic, honey, soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar. Pour the mixture into the pan with the chicken.
3️⃣ Simmer and Glaze
Let everything simmer for 10–15 minutes, spooning the sauce over the thighs occasionally. The sauce will reduce into a glossy, sticky glaze that clings to each piece.
🧠 Pro Tips:
- Use a cast-iron skillet for the best sear.
- Want a little heat? Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
- Garnish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds for extra flair.
🍽️ Serve With:
- Steamed jasmine rice or buttery mashed potatoes
- Roasted veggies like carrots or broccoli
- A crisp side salad with lemon vinaigrette
