Sweet Garlic Chicken Thighs
Ingredients
  • 8 (5 ounce) boneless chicken thighs
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, or as needed
  • 1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 7 cloves garlic, chopped, or to taste
  • 1 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1 pinch onion powder, or to taste
  • 1 pinch garlic powder, or to taste
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
1
Prepare the chicken by sprinkling both sides with salt and pepper for enhanced flavor.
2
Heat a generous amount of olive oil in a well-seasoned cast iron skillet over an elevated heat setting. Introduce the chicken and sear one side, allowing it to develop a rich brown color for 3 to 5 minutes. Rotate the chicken and add sliced onion and minced garlic; continue cooking until the chicken is almost fully cooked and the onion and garlic are tender, taking an additional 5 to 7 minutes.
3
Transfer the chicken to a clean plate and set it aside.
4
Combine honey, soy sauce, onion powder, and garlic powder in the skillet. Stir vigorously to combine the ingredients with the remaining liquid, ensuring that all particles are well incorporated.
5
Return the chicken to the skillet and cover it with a lid. Lower the heat to a moderate level and cook until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), indicated by a clear flow of juices. This process should take around 10 minutes, with the chicken being flipped halfway through.
6
Arrange the cooked chicken on a serving plate and drizzle the remaining sauce from the skillet over it. Garnish with chopped cilantro for a visually appealing presentation
