Main Ingredients

4 pieces boneless chicken thighs Opt for organic, free-range chicken for the best flavor and texture.

to taste Salt and pepper
as needed Cooked rice For serving.

Preparation

In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, and minced garlic until well combined.
Generously season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper.

Cooking

Heat a heavy-bottomed cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken thighs, skin-side down, and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through.
Pour the honey garlic sauce over the chicken and allow it to simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Serving

Plate the chicken thighs atop a bed of cooked rice and drizzle with the remaining sauce.
Garnish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds if desired.

For a healthier version, substitute chicken thighs with firm tofu and use plant-based soy sauce.
