Delightful Honey Garlic Chicken Thighs

This mouth-watering dish combines the sweetness of honey with the pungent aroma of garlic, perfectly balanced with soy sauce and adorned with a hint of ginger. It’s a savory and succulent meal that’s both easy to prepare and guaranteed to satisfy your taste buds.

Ingredients:
– 8 chicken thighs (skin-on, bone-in)
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1/4 cup honey
– 1/3 cup soy sauce
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
– 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Chopped green onions (for garnish)
– Sesame seeds (for garnish, optional)

Instructions:

1. Marinate the Chicken:
– In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, honey, soy sauce, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and grated ginger.
– Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper, then place them in a large zip-lock bag or a shallow dish.
– Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring that it’s well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight for deeper flavor.

2. Preheat the Oven:
– Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

3. Sear the Chicken:
– Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
– Remove the chicken from the marinade (reserving the marinade) and sear the thighs, skin-side down, for about 5 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden brown.
– Flip the chicken thighs and cook for another 3 minutes.

4. Bake the Chicken:
– Pour the reserved marinade over the chicken thighs in the skillet.
– Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

5. Garnish and Serve:
– Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes.
– Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
– Serve the honey garlic chicken thighs with steamed rice or your favorite side dish, and enjoy the delightful flavors!

This dish is perfect for a family dinner or a special gathering and pairs beautifully with a light salad or roasted vegetables. Bon appétit!
