Instructions
Preparation
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients. Having everything ready helps streamline the cooking process.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, and vinegar. Whisk these ingredients together until they form a smooth sauce.
Cooking
- Heat the neutral oil in a skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
- Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Carefully place the chicken thighs in the hot skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes on one side until golden brown.
- Flip the chicken thighs and pour the honey-garlic sauce over them.
- Continue cooking for another 10-15 minutes, occasionally spooning the sauce over the chicken.
- Once the chicken is cooked and the sauce has thickened, remove the skillet from heat and let the chicken rest for a few minutes.
- Serve the chicken thighs on a platter, drizzling any remaining sauce from the pan over the top.
Notes
Use fresh garlic for better flavor. Avoid overcrowding the pan for even cooking. Let the chicken rest to maintain moisture.
