Make tender, flavorful boneless chicken thighs coated in a thick, sweet, and savory honey garlic glaze using a simple one-pan skillet method.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons cold water

Instructions

  1. Pat the chicken thighs dry using paper towels. Season both sides lightly with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the chicken thighs in the hot skillet, ensuring they do not overlap.
  3. Cook the chicken for 5 to 7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F or 74°C). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
  4. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Do not let the garlic burn.
  5. Pour in the honey, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and ground ginger. Stir well to combine. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and cold water to create a slurry.
  7. Slowly whisk the slurry into the simmering sauce. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, for 1 to 2 minutes until the sauce thickens into a sticky glaze.
  8. Return the cooked chicken thighs to the skillet. Turn the chicken pieces to coat them completely in the honey garlic glaze.
  9. Cook for 1 minute more, spooning the extra sauce over the chicken. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For extra shine, brush a little extra glaze over the chicken just before serving.
  • If you prefer a less sweet glaze, reduce the honey by one tablespoon and substitute it with an extra tablespoon of soy sauce.
  • You can use chicken breasts, but adjust cooking time to prevent drying.
