4 servings

2 lbs Chicken thighs
0.33 cup Honey
0.25 cup Soy sauce

Suggested swaps

Coconut aminos · 1:1 ratio — Soy-free and gluten-free; slightly sweeter
5 cloves Garlic, minced
1 tbsp Rice vinegar
1 tsp Ginger, minced
1 tbsp Cornstarch

Suggested swaps

Arrowroot powder · 1:1 ratio — Works the same as thickener; freezes better
1 tbsp Sesame seeds
2 whole Green onions, sliced

Instructions

In a bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, garlic, vinegar, ginger, and cornstarch.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Season chicken with salt and pepper, then sear for 5 minutes per side.
Pour honey garlic sauce over chicken.
Reduce heat and simmer for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally.
Sauce should thicken and glaze the chicken beautifully.
