Ingredients
- (8 (5oz)) Boneless chicken thighs
- salt & pepper to taste
- (2 TBL. or as needed) Olive Oil
- (1/2) Medium Onion
- (7 or to taste) Garlic cloves
- (1 cup) Honey
- (1/2 cup) Soy sauce
- (1 pinch or to taste) Onion powder
- (1 pinch or to taste) Garlic powder
- (1/4 cup) Fresh chopped cilantro
Directions
Step 1: Gather all ingredients.
Step 2: Season chicken thighs on both sides with salt and pepper.
Step 3: Heat olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and brown on one side, 3 to 5 minutes.
Step 4: 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.
Step 5: 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.
Step 6: Return chicken to the skillet, cover, and reduce heat to medium. Cook until no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, about 10 more minutes, turning once halfway through. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a thigh should read at least 165 degrees.
Step 7: Arrange chicken on a serving plate and drizzle liquid from the pan on top. Sprinkle with cilantro to serve.
