Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on) For extra crispiness
  • 1/4 cup honey For that delicious sweetness
  • 4 cloves garlic Minced to enhance flavor
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce Adds depth and umami
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil For cooking
  • to taste salt and pepper For seasoning
Garnishes (Optional)
  • to taste chopped green onions or parsley For garnish
  • to taste sesame seeds For topping

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure that crispy exterior you’re craving.
  2. Prepare the chicken thighs by patting them dry with paper towels to help the skin to crisp up nicely.
  3. Season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
Cooking
  1. Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken thighs skin-side down and sear for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown.
  2. Flip the chicken thighs and pour in the honey, minced garlic, and soy sauce mixture. Allow this to sizzle for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
  3. Transfer the skillet to your preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and crispy.
Serving
  1. Garnish with your choice of chopped green onions or parsley, and sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

For ideal results, allow the chicken to rest after baking to help lock in juices. Experiment with toppings and sauces to customize your dish!
