Honey Garlic Chicken Thighs Recipe: Easy & Delicious!

Ingredients

• 8 (5 ounce) boneless chicken thighs
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil, or as needed
• 0.5 medium onion, finely chopped
• 7 cloves garlic, chopped, or to taste
• 1 cup honey
• 0.5 cup soy sauce
• 1 pinch onion powder, or to taste
• 1 pinch garlic powder, or to taste
• 0.25 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions

1. Get all of your ingredients ready.
2. Season your chicken thighs generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
3. Heat olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs and brown them on one side for 3 to 5 minutes.
4. Flip the chicken, then add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Continue cooking until the chicken is almost fully cooked and the onion and garlic are softened, about 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate.
5. Pour honey and soy sauce into the skillet, then add onion powder and garlic powder. Stir well, scraping the bottom of the pan to mix the garlic and onion with the sauce.
6. Put the chicken back in the skillet, cover, and reduce heat to medium. Cook until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear, about 10 more minutes, flipping once halfway through. A thermometer inserted into the center should reach 165°F (74°C).
7. Place the chicken on a plate and drizzle with pan sauce. Sprinkle with fresh cilantro before serving.
8. Enjoy your honey garlic chicken thighs!
