Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/3 cup honey

  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water (optional, for thickening)

Instructions

  1. Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper on both sides.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Sear chicken thighs for 5–6 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

  7. Return chicken thighs to the pan and coat them in the glaze. Simmer for 2–3 minutes.
  8. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
  9. Serve with rice, steamed vegetables, or noodles.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the sauce for 30 minutes before cooking.
  • The glaze can also be used for chicken wings or drumsticks.
