Ingredients
  

  • 4 pieces chicken thighs
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 stalks green onions
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 2 cups vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, broccoli, carrots)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Season the chicken thighs on both sides with salt and black pepper.
  • In a large, oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken thighs skin-side down and sear for about 5-7 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy.
  • Flip the chicken thighs over and add the minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Pour this mixture over the chicken in the skillet.
  • If using, add the chopped vegetables around the chicken in the skillet.
  • Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the sauce is bubbling.
  • Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes. The sauce will thicken slightly as it cools.
  • Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
  • Serve the chicken with the sauce drizzled over, alongside rice or noodles if desired.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the honey garlic mixture for 30 minutes to 2 hours before cooking.
Feel free to customize the vegetables based on your preference; use seasonal vegetables for the best results.
This dish can also be made with chicken breasts, but adjust the cooking time as needed.
