# What You'll Need:
→ Chicken
01 - 8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
02 - 1/2 tsp salt
03 - 1/4 tsp black pepper
→ Glaze
04 - 1/3 cup honey
05 - 1/4 cup soy sauce, low sodium preferred
06 - 4 cloves garlic, minced
07 - 1 tbsp rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar
08 - 2 tbsp water
09 - 1 tbsp olive oil
10 - 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
→ Garnish
11 - 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley or green onions
12 - 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds
# How to Make It:
01 - Preheat oven to 400°F.
02 - Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
03 - Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Place chicken thighs skin side down and sear for 3–4 minutes, until golden brown. Flip and cook another 2 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.
04 - In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in honey, soy sauce, vinegar, water, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a simmer.
05 - Return chicken thighs to the skillet, skin side up. Spoon glaze over the chicken. Transfer skillet to the oven. Bake for 18–22 minutes, basting chicken with glaze halfway through, until chicken is cooked through and skin is caramelized.
06 - Remove from oven and let rest 5 minutes. Garnish with parsley or green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
