For an extra layer of flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce. Ensure the chicken thighs are patted dry before searing to achieve optimal crispiness. Garnish with fresh parsley or sesame seeds for a pop of color and added flavor.

Follow The Directions
01
StepSeason chicken thighs generously with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
02
StepHeat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken thighs skin-side down and sear until golden brown and crispy, about 10-12 minutes. Ensure the internal temperature reaches at least 165°F (74°C). Drain excess grease, leaving approximately 2 tablespoons in the pan. (Cook time: 12 minutes)
03
StepArrange chicken thighs skin-side down in the skillet. Add crushed garlic around the chicken and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Pour in honey, water, rice wine vinegar, and soy sauce. (Cook time: 1 minute)
04
StepIncrease heat to medium-high and cook until the sauce reduces and thickens into a glossy glaze, about 3-4 minutes, spooning the sauce over the chicken to ensure even coating. (Cook time: 4 minutes)
