👩🍳 Instructions
1. Season & Sear
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels—this ensures crispy skin. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place chicken skin-side down and sear for 5–7 minutes, until golden brown and crispy. Flip and cook another 5 minutes.
2. Make the Glaze
In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, garlic, and vinegar until smooth. This is the magic that gives the chicken its sticky, glossy finish.
3. Glaze & Cook
Pour the sauce into the skillet with the chicken. Lower heat to medium, cover, and let it simmer for 10–12 minutes until chicken is cooked through (internal temp 165°F / 74°C).
4. Thicken (Optional)
If you want a thicker glaze, stir in the cornstarch slurry and simmer uncovered for 1–2 minutes until the sauce coats the chicken beautifully.
5. Serve & Enjoy
Plate the chicken, spoon the glaze over the top, and garnish with sesame seeds or chopped green onions. Serve with rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
🍴 Serving Tips
Serve with steamed jasmine rice to soak up the extra glaze.
Pair with roasted broccoli or green beans for a complete meal.
For a spicy twist, add chili flakes or a spoon of sriracha to the sauce.
