One step at a time
Let’s make it
- Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Heat olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat.
- Place chicken skin side down and cook 6-7 minutes until skin is crispy and browned; flip and cook 4 more minutes.
- Remove chicken and set aside.
- Reduce heat to medium, add garlic to skillet and sauté 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add honey, soy sauce, and vinegar; stir and simmer 1-2 minutes until sauce slightly thickens.
- Return chicken to skillet, spoon sauce over and cook 5 more minutes until chicken reaches internal temperature of 165°F.
- Serve chicken with sauce spooned over top.
A little kitchen know-how
Use skin-on, bone-in thighs for maximum flavor and keep skin crispy by not overcrowding the pan.
