Do you love easy dishes?
What about dinners with minimal ingredients?
This Honey Garlic chicken is giving you all the above. Our family loves this flavorful dish. I mean, what is not to love about juicy, meaty chicken thighs drenched in a delicious sauce.
First, I pan seared the chicken thighs with my handy dandy cast iron skillet. I just love the crisp beautiful sear that this skillet makes on any meat. As the chicken is searing I whipped up the sauce.
Once the chicken was finished searing on both sides, I poured the sauce on the chicken and popped this badboy in the oven for a few minutes.
That was it!
Yep!
That was it! You can serve this dish with some rice and vegetables or whatever your family prefers. Then dig on in, but please make sure you drizzle the chicken with some sauce. A little bit of a drizzle never hurt nobody 😉
You can use this sauce on other meats if you like.

Anytime. Thank you for stopping by.
I made this recipe, and the sauce was thick and taste burnt. Was definitely a fail.
Sounds like you might have to adjust the heat setting of your stove so the sauce doesn’t cook to fast.
Love this recipe with the use of thighs! I’m definitely pinning this for later…thanks Dee!
Thank you. I prefer chicken thighs but will use chicken breasts every now and then.

Yes! Chicken thighs is the way to go!
Can I substitute something for the corn starch
You can use flour as a cornstarch substitute.
So delicious and easy to make. My boys devoured it in no time!
I’m so glad your boys enjoyed it. That is a real WIN!
I made it and it turned out great. I did double the recipe though. I used thighs and legs.
