Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1.5 pounds Boneless chicken thighs About 6-8 thighs, skinless preferred.
  • 3 cloves Fresh garlic, minced Fresh gives the best flavor; garlic powder can be used in a pinch.
  • 1/4 cup Soy sauce Use low-sodium or tamari for gluten-free.
  • 3 tablespoons Honey Maple syrup can be used as a substitute.
  • to taste Cooked rice For serving, jasmine or short-grain white rice is recommended.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, soy sauce, and honey. Whisk until smooth.
Cooking
  1. Warm a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a little oil.
  2. Place the boneless thighs in the hot pan in a single layer. Cook undisturbed until deeply browned, about 3–4 minutes per side.
  3. Pour the garlic-honey mixture over the browned chicken and reduce the heat to medium-low.
  4. Simmer for 8–10 minutes, spooning sauce over the meat occasionally. Ensure chicken is cooked through with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  5. Let the chicken rest for a couple of minutes, then slice or serve whole over warm rice.
