Ingredients
- 8 (140 g) boneless chicken thighs
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) olive oil, or as needed
- 5 medium onion, finely chopped
- 7 cloves garlic, chopped, or to taste
- 1 cup (240 ml) honey
- 5 cup (120 ml) soy sauce
- 1 pinch onion powder, or to taste
- 1 pinch garlic powder, or to taste
- 25 cup (60 ml) chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
- Collect all necessary items.
- Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides of the chicken pieces.
- Warm olive oil in a cast iron pan on medium-high heat. Place the chicken in the pan to sear on one side for 3 to 5 minutes.
- Turn the chicken over and add the onion and garlic; cook further until the chicken is nearly done and the onion and garlic are tender, approximately 5 to 7 more minutes. Transfer the chicken to a separate dish.
- Into the pan, pour honey, soy sauce, onion powder, and garlic powder. Use a wooden spoon to mix and scrape the pan’s bottom, incorporating the onion and garlic with the sauce.
- Place the chicken back into the pan, cover it, and lower the heat to medium. Cook until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear, roughly 10 more minutes, flipping it once halfway. An instant-read thermometer should show at least 165°F (74°C) when inserted in the middle of a thigh.
- Put the chicken on a serving dish and pour the pan’s sauce over it. Garnish with cilantro before serving.
- Savor your meal!
Notes
- Marinate chicken thighs in honey-soy sauce for a richer flavor profile.
- Adjust garlic and onion quantities to suit your taste preferences.
- Scrape the pan’s bottom to infuse sauce with richness; add sesame seeds for texture.
