Sticky honey garlic chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that’s perfect for a quick dinner. The combination of sweet honey and savory garlic creates an irresistible glaze that coats juicy chicken thighs.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 chicken thighs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley

Instructions

  1. Pat the chicken thighs dry and season with salt, black pepper, and paprika for deep savory flavor.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken thighs for 6-7 minutes per side until beautifully caramelized and crispy on the outside while juicy inside.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, garlic, chili flakes, and butter. Pour the sauce into the skillet and let it simmer gently.
  4. Mix cornstarch with water and stir into the sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the glaze becomes rich, sticky, and glossy.
  5. Spoon the thick honey garlic glaze all over the chicken until every piece is coated in irresistible flavor. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot.

Notes

  • For extra smoky flavor, grill the chicken instead of pan-searing.
  • Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to balance the sweetness.
  • Swap honey with maple syrup for a deeper caramel flavor.
