Honey Garlic Chicken Thighs (Print-Friendly Version)

Juicy chicken thighs glazed with a sweet-savory blend of honey, garlic, and soy sauce - ready in just 35 minutes!

# What You'll Need:

01 - 4 to 8 bone-in or boneless chicken thighs

02 - Salt

03 - ¼ cup soy sauce or Tamari

04 - ⅓ cup honey

05 - 3 to 4 garlic cloves, crushed or finely minced

06 - ½ cup water

07 - 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

# How to Make It:

01 - Season the chicken thighs on both sides with a bit of salt.

02 - In a large skillet or frying pan, heat a splash of oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken skin-side down (if using skin-on) and let them sear for about 7 to 10 minutes per side until beautifully browned and crisp on the outside. If too much fat renders out, carefully spoon some off and set it aside for later use.

03 - While the chicken is browning, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, garlic, water, and lemon juice in a small bowl. Taste the sauce and adjust for flavor as needed. Add more lemon juice if you prefer a tangier flavor or more honey for additional sweetness.

# Additional Tips:

01 - Boneless, skinless thighs cook faster but bone-in thighs provide richer flavor.

02 - Use low-sodium soy sauce for those reducing salt intake.

03 - Opt for fresh garlic for the best flavor.

04 - Add a splash of water or chicken broth if the sauce reduces too quickly.

05 - For a thicker glaze, simmer the sauce uncovered or stir in a cornstarch slurry.
