Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce Ensure it’s halal-certified
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • to taste Salt and pepper
  • for garnish Chopped green onions

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by cleaning your chicken thighs and patting them dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt and pepper to taste.
  2. In a bowl, mix together the honey, soy sauce, and minced garlic. Stir well to combine evenly.
Cooking
  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken thighs, searing each side for about 3-4 minutes until they develop a beautiful, golden-brown color.
  2. Pour the honey-garlic mixture into the skillet, ensuring the chicken is well-coated. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let it simmer for about 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (an internal temperature of 165°F).
  3. Once done, remove the skillet from the heat and let the chicken rest for a few minutes. Top with freshly chopped green onions and enjoy the sticky, sweet goodness!

Notes

For substitutions, consider using boneless, skinless chicken breasts. Cooking times may vary. Monitor chicken while it's cooking; a meat thermometer helps ensure it reaches the right temperature. Avoid high heat after adding the sauce to prevent burning and encourage caramelization.
