Ingredients
6 chicken thighs, bone in or out, with or without skin*
Salt and pepper, to season
2 teaspoons garlic powder, to season
6 cloves garlic, crushed
1/3 cup honey
1/4 cup water (or chicken broth)
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar (or apple cider vinegar, or any white vinegar)
1 tablespoon soy sauce

Instructions
1. Season chicken with salt, pepper and garlic powder; set aside.
2. Heat a pan or skillet over medium high heat; sear chicken thigh fillets or breast fillets on both sides until
golden and cooked through.

FOR BONE IN THIGHS:

1. Reduce heat after searing on both sides, cover skillet with a lid and continue cooking until the chicken is
cooked through, while turning every 5 minutes until done. Alternatively, see notes for oven method.
2. Drain most of the excess oil from the pan, leaving about 2 tablespoons of pan juiced for added flavour.

FOR SAUCE:
1. When chicken is done and cooked through, arrange chicken skin-side up in the pan (if cooking with skin);
add the garlic between the chicken and fry until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Add the honey, water,
vinegar and soy sauce. Increase heat to medium-high and continue to cook until the sauce reduces
down and thicken slightly (about 3-4 minutes).
2. Garnish with parsley and serve over vegetables, rice, pasta or with a salad.

Notes
*For chicken breasts: use 3 breasts, sliced horizontally in half. Sear breast fillets on each side until golden
and cooked through (about 6 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of your fillets). Continue
directions from the sauce, onwards.**For oven baked, bone-in thighs: Preheat oven at 400°F or 200°C. Sear
chicken in an oven proof skillet or pan, skin side down first for 3 minutes. Flip and sear for a further 3 minutes
until browned each side. Then bake in the oven for a further 20-25 minutes, until completely cooked through
and no longer pink inside. Continue directions from the sauce, onwards.
