Honey Garlic Boneless Chicken Thighs
This recipe for Honey Garlic Boneless Chicken Thighs features juicy chicken thighs glazed with a sweet and savory honey garlic sauce.
Equipment
- oven-safe skillet
Ingredients
- 6 thighs boneless skinless chicken
- salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoon salted butter divided
- 6 cloves garlic minced
- 3 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
- ½ teaspoon ground thyme
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
- Heat 1 tablespoon salted butter in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken thighs and sear for 4-5 minutes per side, until deeply golden. Remove chicken to a plate.
- Reduce heat slightly and add remaining 1 tablespoon butter to the skillet. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, just until fragrant.
- Remove skillet from heat. Whisk in honey, soy sauce, ground thyme, and ground ginger until smooth.
- If the sauce feels too thick, whisk in 1 tablespoon warm water or chicken broth.
- Return chicken thighs to the skillet and spoon the sauce over the top.
- Transfer skillet to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Spoon extra sauce over the chicken and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
Sear the chicken well for the best flavor and caramelization. Chicken thighs stay juicier than breasts and are harder to overcook. For extra sauce, double the honey, soy sauce, and garlic. Use a meat thermometer: chicken is done at 165°F.
