Garlic Honey-Glazed Chicken Thighs
Ingredients List
-
8 (5 ounce) boneless chicken thighs
-
salt and ground black pepper to taste
-
2 tablespoons olive oil, or as needed
-
½ medium onion, finely chopped
-
7 cloves garlic, chopped, or to taste
-
1 cup honey
-
½ cup soy sauce
-
1 pinch onion powder, or to taste
-
1 pinch garlic powder, or to taste
-
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
-
Season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper.
-
Heat olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sear on one side for 3 to 5 minutes. Flip the chicken, then add onion and garlic. Continue cooking until the chicken is nearly cooked through and the onion and garlic have softened, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
-
In the same skillet, combine honey, soy sauce, onion powder, and garlic powder. Stir well and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan to mix with the sauce.
-
Return the chicken to the skillet, cover, and reduce the heat to medium. Cook for an additional 10 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through and juices run clear. Flip the chicken halfway through cooking. The internal temperature should reach at least 165°F (74°C).
-
Transfer the chicken to a serving plate, spoon the sauce over the top, and garnish with fresh cilantro.
Cooking Tips
You can use either skin-on or skinless chicken thighs for this recipe.
If you prefer, you can substitute 1 whole medium-sized garlic bulb, chopped, for the individual garlic cloves.
For an alternative, parsley can be used instead of cilantro.
