Honey Garlic Chicken Thighs

Instructions

1. Pat chicken dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Place chicken skin-side down and cook without moving for 7-8 minutes until skin is golden and crispy. Flip and cook 3 minutes more. Remove chicken and set aside.
2. Preheat oven to 400°F. Drain most fat from pan, leaving about 1 tbsp. Add garlic and cook 1 minute. Add honey, soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes. Let it bubble and reduce slightly, about 2 minutes.
3. Return chicken to pan, skin-side up. Spoon sauce over the chicken. Transfer to oven and bake 15-20 minutes until cooked through, basting once or twice with the pan sauce.
4. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve with steamed rice.
