- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 tsp fresh ginger
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp water
- 2 green onions
How to make Skillet Honey Garlic Glazed Chicken Thighs
- Pat the 1.5 lbs of boneless, skinless chicken thighs very dry with paper towels. Season generously on both sides with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Carefully add the seasoned chicken thighs to the hot skillet.
- Sear the chicken for 3-4 minutes per side, until beautifully golden brown and slightly crispy. The chicken does not need to be cooked through at this stage. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
- While the chicken is searing, prepare the glaze: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup honey, 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger, and 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar until well combined.
- In a small separate cup, whisk together 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of water to create a smooth slurry; set aside.
- Pour the honey-garlic glaze mixture into the skillet. Bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Allow it to cook for about 1-2 minutes to meld the flavors.
- Stir the cornstarch slurry once more, then gradually whisk it into the simmering glaze. Continue whisking constantly for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens to a glossy, syrupy consistency.
- Return the seared chicken thighs to the skillet, nestling them into the thickened glaze. Spoon the glaze generously over the chicken to coat evenly.
- Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5-7 minutes, turning the chicken occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). The glaze should be sticky and cling to the chicken.
- Garnish the finished dish with 2 chopped green onions and serve immediately with rice or your favorite side dish.
