Instructions

Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Pat dry 6 bone-in chicken thighs and season with 1/2 tsp black pepper. Place chicken thighs skin-side down and sear for 6-7 minutes until golden and crisp. Flip and cook another 5 minutes.
Step 2: Reduce heat to medium and add 4 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger to the skillet. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 3: Stir together 3 tbsp honey, 1/4 cup soy sauce, and 1/4 cup water, then pour into the skillet. Simmer the chicken in the glaze, turning occasionally, for 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken.
Step 4: Remove from heat and sprinkle 2 tbsp sliced green onions over the glazed chicken before serving.
