Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless skinless chicken thighs tender texture
- 1 tablespoon olive oil adds moisture and richness
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar for sweetness and caramelization
- 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce adds umami flavor
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika provides depth and a hint of smokiness
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder enhances overall flavor
- 0.5 teaspoon salt balances flavors
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper adds mild heat
Instructions
Preparation
- Start by preparing your chicken thighs. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
- Season both sides with salt, ground black pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder.
Cooking
- Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add the olive oil until it shimmers slightly.
- Place the seasoned chicken thighs in the hot pan, ensuring they’re spaced out for even cooking. Cook on one side for about 5-7 minutes until golden-brown.
- Flip each chicken thigh over and reduce the heat slightly. Continue cooking for another 5-7 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and soy sauce to create the sticky glaze.
- Once the chicken is done, pour the honey garlic sauce mixture over the chicken in the pan and toss gently to coat.
- Let it simmer for a couple of minutes to thicken the sauce before serving.
Resting
- Remove the chicken from the pan and place it on a plate. Allow to rest for a few minutes.
Notes
Serving suggestions include pairing with rice, quinoa, or using in salads or wraps. Ensure to patted chicken dry for best results.
