I have seen variations of this recipe alllllll over the net! I was skeptical about the thighs because, dark meat. But they came out so good! My sons absolutely loved them and both asked for seconds!
I will also be trying this glaze recipe with salmon+shrimp. Yummm!
This recipe also works with chicken breasts!
Here’s what you’ll need:
•6 Chicken Thighs
•Salt, Pepper, Garlic Powder (to season)
•Olive Oil
•1/3 Cup Honey
•1/4 Cup Water
•1 Tablespoon Soy Sauce
•4 Garlic Cloves, Minced
•1 Tablespoon Brown Sugar
Season Thighs with s+p and garlic powder. Heat Olive Oil in a large cast iron skillet (a regular pan will work also). Place thighs, skin side down into the pan.
Cook chicken through (20-25 minutes). Add garlic and brown (30 seconds) next add honey, water, and soy sauce. Reduce sauce for 5 minutes. Sprinkle brown sugar over chicken. Baste each thigh with glaze. Top with scallions and cilantro!
This is one of my boyfriends favorite recipe!! I never tried it with thighs but that sauce is to die for!
Yes I love this sauce!!
I mainly use chicken thighs now too! So flavorful with no need to marinate, they are just easier IMO to cook with over white meat.
Yes I totally agree!
