Description
A delicious and easy-to-make Honey Garlic Chicken recipe that is perfect for dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped green onions for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, and rice vinegar until well combined.
- Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off, and season with salt and pepper.
- Place the chicken in the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
- While the chicken is cooking, pour the remaining marinade into a small saucepan. In a separate bowl, mix cornstarch and water to create a slurry, then add it to the saucepan.
- Bring the marinade to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly until it thickens. Remove from heat.
- Once the chicken is cooked, pour the thickened sauce over the chicken in the skillet, tossing to coat evenly.
- Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions if desired.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a teaspoon of red pepper flakes to the marinade.
- Serve over steamed rice or quinoa for a complete meal, or pair with stir-fried vegetables for added nutrition.
