Make sticky, sweet, and savory honey garlic chicken thighs. This easy recipe is perfect for weeknight meals and pairs well with rice and vegetables.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional: sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper to create the sauce.
  3. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels.
  4. Place chicken thighs in a baking dish or on a baking sheet.
  5. Pour half of the honey garlic sauce over the chicken thighs, ensuring they are coated.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  7. While the chicken is baking, heat the remaining sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat until it thickens slightly.
  8. Once the chicken is cooked, brush the thickened sauce over the chicken thighs.
  9. Return the chicken to the oven for another 5 minutes to allow the sauce to caramelize.
  10. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions, if desired.

Notes

  • For skillet chicken thighs, sear chicken in a skillet over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes per side, then add the sauce and simmer until cooked through and glazed.
  • This recipe is a great option for meal planning.
