Instructions

Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and black pepper
In a small glass bowl, combine the honey, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and apple cider vinegar. Whisk until fully incorporated
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side until golden-brow
Reduce the heat to medium and pour the honey mixture over the chicken. Let it bubble and thicken while spooning the sauce over the meat for 3-4 minutes
Use an instant-read thermometer to check that the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165°F, then remove from heat
Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before slicing

Notes

Manage heat effectively to prevent sauce from burning.

Do not crowd the skillet to ensure proper searing.
