Honey Garlic Thighs (Printer-Friendly Layout)
Tender chicken thighs coated in a mouthwatering mix of honey, garlic, and soy - on your table in 35 minutes!
# Ingredients You'll Need:
01 -
4 to 8 chicken thighs, with or without bones
02 -
Salt
03 -
¼ cup Tamari or soy sauce
04 -
⅓ cup honey
05 -
3 to 4 garlic cloves, smashed or chopped fine
06 -
½ cup water
07 -
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
# Step-by-Step Instructions:
01 -
Sprinkle a little salt on both sides of your chicken thighs.
02 -
Pour a bit of oil into a big pan and turn heat to medium-high. Put chicken down with skin facing the pan if you've got skin-on pieces. Let them cook about 7 to 10 minutes on each side until they turn golden and crispy outside. If too much fat comes out, you can scoop some out and save it for later.
03 -
While your chicken cooks, stir soy sauce, honey, garlic, water, and lemon juice together in a small bowl. Give it a taste and tweak it how you like. Want it more zingy? Add extra lemon. Need it sweeter? Throw in more honey.
# Extra Tips and Tricks:
01 -
Thighs without bones cook quicker but you'll get more flavor with bone-in pieces.
02 -
Try a low-salt soy sauce if you're watching your sodium.
03 -
Don't use jarred garlic. Fresh cloves taste way better.
04 -
The sauce getting too thick? Just add a bit of water or chicken stock.
05 -
Want a sticky coating? Let the sauce bubble uncovered or mix in some cornstarch with cold water.
