Description
This Honey Chicken Thighs Plate combines the deep umami of soy sauce with the floral sweetness of raw honey to create a perfectly balanced meal. The dish is professional-grade, juicy, and tender with a complex glaze that is both sweet and savory.
Ingredients
1.5 lbs Boneless, Skinless Chicken Thighs
1/3 cup Raw Wildflower Honey
1/4 cup Low-Sodium Soy Sauce
4 cloves Fresh Garlic, Minced
1 tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar
1 teaspoon Fresh Ginger, Grated
2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/2 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
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.
