Ingredients

  • 500 g Chicken Thighs
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 5 cloves Garlic Minced
  • 4 tbsp Honey
  • 2 tbsp Soy Sauce
  • 1 tsp Oregano Dried
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
  • Parsley For garnish

Instructions

  • In a bowl, mix together the honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. This will be your marinade.
  • Place the boneless chicken thighs in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour half of the marinade over the chicken, making sure each piece is coated. Reserve the other half of the marinade for later use.
  • Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 15 minutes, or you can refrigerate it for up to 4 hours for more flavour.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade (discard the marinade that was in contact with raw chicken) and add the chicken to the skillet.
  • Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and nicely browned.
  • Once the chicken is cooked, pour the reserved marinade into the skillet. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken pieces. Make sure the chicken is well coated with the glaze on both sides.
  • Remove the skillet from the heat. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the honey garlic chicken for a burst of freshness and colour.
  • Serve the honey garlic chicken hot with your choice of sides, such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a crisp salad.

Notes

Using boneless chicken thighs ensures a tender and juicy result.
The marinade adds a perfect balance of sweetness and savoury flavour to the dish.
You can customise the recipe by adding a pinch of red pepper flakes for some heat or a squeeze of lemon juice for extra zing.
