Total Time25 minutes
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 5-6 chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • salt to taste
  • 1/2 tsp ground pepper
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 4-5 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/4 cup chicken stock
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp red chili flakes
  • 1 tbsp parsley, chopped

Instructions

  • Pat the chicken thighs dry and place in a bowl; toss with cornstarch, salt, and ground pepper until evenly coated.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together chicken stock, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, red chili flakes, and chopped parsley; set the sauce aside.
  • Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the oil. When hot, add the chicken thighs and cook 5–6 minutes per side, flipping once, until browned and cooked through.
  • Push the chicken to the side, add the butter to the center of the skillet, and when melted stir in the minced garlic; cook about 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Pour the prepared sauce into the skillet, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for about 5 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken.
  • Remove from heat and serve the honey garlic chicken immediately.

Equipment

Notes

  • Substitute chicken thighs with breasts, shrimp, beef, or salmon if desired.
