Honey Garlic Chicken Thighs
These skillet honey garlic chicken thighs are crispy, sweet, sticky, and easy to make.
Ingredients
- 6 chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- ⅓ cup honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon oil
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
Instructions
- Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and set aside.
- In a small bowl, mix together the honey, soy sauce, and rice vinegar. Set aside.
- Heat 1 teaspoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs skin-side down, and cook for 5-7 minutes without moving. Reduce the heat to medium, flip the chicken, and cook for another 7-10 minutes until the juices run clear or the inside reaches 165°F.
- Remove the chicken to a plate, and leave about 2 tablespoons of the chicken fat in the pan.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for 30-60 seconds.
- Add the sauce mixture from earlier and cook until it starts to foam up and thicken. The sauce should be as thick as a glaze (it will thicken even more as it cools down). Add the chicken back to the pan and spoon the sauce over the chicken. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
