Honey Garlic Chicken Thighs

Ingredients

• 8 chicken thighs
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil, or as needed
• ½ medium onion, finely chopped
• 7 cloves garlic, chopped, or to taste
• 1 cup honey
• ½ cup soy sauce
• 1 pinch onion powder, or to taste
• 1 pinch garlic powder, or to taste
• ¼ cup chopped fresh coriander

Method

1. Season chicken on both sides with salt and pepper.
2. Heat olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and brown on one side, 3 to 5 minutes
3. Flip chicken and add onion and garlic; continue to cook until chicken is mostly (but not fully) cooked and onion and garlic are soft, 5 to 7 minutes more. Remove the chicken to a plate.
4. Add honey, soy sauce, onion powder, and garlic powder to the skillet. Stir and scrape the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to get the garlic and onion to mix with the liquid.
5. Return chicken to the skillet, cover, and reduce heat to medium. Cook until no longer pink in the centre and juices run clear, about 10 more minutes, turning once halfway through. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the centre of a thigh should read at least 80°C.
6. Arrange chicken on a serving plate and drizzle liquid from the pan on top. Sprinkle with cilantro to serve.
