Honey Garlic Glazed Chicken Thighs
Instructions:
- Prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
- Sear the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place chicken thighs skin-side down and cook for 5-6 minutes until golden brown. Flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Stir in honey, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, ground ginger, and chili flakes if using. Bring to a gentle simmer.
- Glaze the Chicken: Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, skin-side up. Spoon the sauce over the chicken and simmer on low heat for 10-15 minutes, basting occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/75°C).
- Thicken the Sauce: If the sauce is too thin, remove the chicken and simmer the sauce for a few more minutes until it thickens.
- Serve: Garnish with chopped parsley or green onions and serve hot.
