Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pat 2 lbs skin-on chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season both sides with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper.
  2. Step 2: Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Place chicken skin-side down and cook for 8 minutes until golden and crisp, then flip and cook 5 minutes more.
  3. Step 3: Remove chicken, leaving 1 tbsp fat in skillet. Add 12 oz trimmed snap peas and 2 minced garlic cloves; cook for 3 minutes until bright green and crisp-tender.
  4. Step 4: Whisk together 3 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp sriracha, 1 tbsp soy sauce, and 1 tsp sesame oil. Pour over snap peas, stir to coat, and simmer for 1 minute until slightly thickened. Return chicken to skillet, spooning glaze over top. Bake at 400°F for 10 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F.
  5. Step 5: Sprinkle with 1 tbsp sesame seeds before serving.
