Simple Soy‑Glazed Chicken Thighs

Ingredients

• 2 pieces bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 2 cloves, minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper(optional)
• 1 stalk, sliced green onions(optional)

Instructions

1. 1

   Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season lightly with black pepper.

2. 2

   Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; add the chicken thighs skin‑side down and sear for 4‑5 minutes until the skin is golden and crisp.

3. 3

   Flip the thighs, then add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds.

4. 4

   Stir in the soy sauce and honey, turning the chicken to coat; reduce heat to medium and simmer, basting the thighs with the glaze, for another 8‑10 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 °F.

5. 5

   Remove the chicken from the pan, let rest 2 minutes, then drizzle any remaining glaze over the thighs and garnish with sliced green onions if desired.
