Print Recipe

A delightful blend of sweet and savory flavors with tender, juicy chicken enveloped in a mouthwatering honey garlic glaze.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 Chicken thighs or breasts
  • 4 cloves Garlic, freshly minced
  • 1/2 cup Honey (or agave syrup)
  • 1/4 cup Soy sauce (low-sodium recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon Ginger, freshly grated
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
  • 2 Green onions, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prep your chicken: Pat dry with paper towels, season both sides with salt and pepper. Let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes.
  2. Make the sauce: In a bowl, combine garlic, honey, soy sauce, ginger, and sesame oil. Whisk well.
  3. Initial browning: In a pan over medium heat, add oil and place chicken skin-side down. Sear for 5-6 minutes.
  4. Add sauce: Flip chicken over, pour honey garlic mixture on top. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
  5. Thicken the sauce: Remove the lid, mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry, stir into the sauce, and cook for another 5 minutes.
  6. Garnish and serve: Let it rest, top with green onions, and serve over white rice or quinoa.

Notes

For a spicier version, add red pepper flakes to the sauce. You can also marinate the chicken overnight for deeper flavor.
