Honey Garlic Chicken Thighs
"Costco boneless skinless chicken thighs pan-seared until golden, then glazed in a sticky honey garlic sauce. A weeknight dinner that tastes like way more effort than it is."
The Game Plan
-
Start your rice according to package directions.
-
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
-
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the chicken thighs in a single layer — don't crowd the pan. Work in batches if needed.
-
Sear undisturbed for 5-6 minutes until the bottom is deep golden brown. Flip and cook another 5-6 minutes until cooked through (165°F internal).
-
Remove chicken to a plate and tent with foil.
-
Lower heat to medium. In the same skillet, add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
-
Add the honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sriracha. Stir and let it bubble for 1 minute.
-
Stir in the cornstarch slurry. Simmer 30 seconds until the sauce thickens and turns glossy.
-
Return the chicken to the pan and flip to coat both sides in the sauce.
-
Serve over rice with the extra sauce spooned on top.
