Make tender, flavorful boneless chicken thighs coated in a sticky, sweet, and savory honey garlic glaze. This recipe is simple for a quick weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken thighs lightly with salt and pepper.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger to make the sauce.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Add the chicken thighs to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F or 74°C). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  5. Pour the prepared honey garlic sauce into the same skillet. Bring the sauce to a simmer.
  6. In a separate small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry.
  7. Whisk the slurry into the simmering sauce. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens into a glaze, about 1-2 minutes.
  8. Return the cooked chicken thighs to the skillet. Toss them gently to coat completely with the sticky honey garlic glaze.
  9. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a thicker glaze, increase the cornstarch to 1.5 teaspoons.
  • You can bake these thighs at 400°F (200°C) for 20 minutes, basting with half the sauce halfway through, then brush with the remaining sauce for the last 5 minutes.
  • Use low-sodium soy sauce if you prefer less salt.
