But before doing so, make sure that your honey is ready to be poured!
Ingredients:
16 oz boneless, skinless chicken thighs
¼ cup honey
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp olive oil
½ tsp dried oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
In a bowl, mix together the honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, olive oil, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine the ingredients. Put aside some of the marinade to use for brushing when cooking later on.
Add the chicken thighs in a shallow dish or a ziploc bag and pour the honey garlic marinade over them, ensuring they are fully coated. You can let them marinate for 30 minutes or up to 24 hours in the refrigerator for more flavor.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Heat an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken thighs for 2-3 minutes on each side until they develop a nice brown color.
While cooking, brush the chicken thighs with the remaining marinade to enhance the flavor and glaze the chicken.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Serve the chicken thighs with rice, quinoa, or roasted vegetables, and garnish with sesame seeds and scallions.
