Equipment
- Large skillet or frying pan
- Small mixing bowl
- Whisk
- Tongs
Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken thighs or breasts
- ¼ cup honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic minced
Instructions
- Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, and minced garlic until well combined.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add a splash of oil if needed to prevent sticking. Place the chicken in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Add the Sauce: Pour the honey garlic sauce over the chicken. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 15 minutes, flipping the chicken occasionally to coat it evenly in the sauce. Cook until the chicken is fully cooked and the sauce thickens slightly.
- Serve and Enjoy: Remove the chicken from the skillet, spoon the sauce over the top, and serve with your favorite side dishes.
Notes
- Use Fresh Garlic: Freshly minced garlic enhances the flavor compared to pre-minced or powdered garlic.
- Adjust Sweetness: If you prefer a less sweet sauce, reduce the honey slightly or balance it with a splash of vinegar.
- Ensure Even Cooking: Pound the chicken to an even thickness to ensure it cooks uniformly.
