Tender, juicy chicken thighs simmered in a sweet and savory garlic-honey glaze. A quick, flavorful dinner made with five simple ingredients and ready in under an hour.
6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
1/3 cup honey
1/4 cup soy sauce
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Salt and pepper, to taste
Optional: sesame seeds, chopped scallions
Pat chicken thighs dry. Season with salt and pepper.
In a hot skillet, sear chicken skin-side down for 7–8 minutes. Flip and cook for another 5 minutes.
Remove chicken and drain all but 1 tablespoon of fat from the pan.
Lower heat, sauté garlic for 30 seconds. Stir in honey, soy sauce, and vinegar. Simmer 2–3 minutes.
Return chicken to pan. Cover and simmer for 10–12 minutes.
Uncover and cook 3–5 minutes more, spooning glaze over chicken.
Let rest before serving. Top with optional garnishes.
