Equipment
- Large Skillet with Deep Sides
- Tongs
- Small Bowl
- Whisk
Ingredients
SAUCE:
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce any type
- 2 cloves garlic minced
CHICKEN:
- 8 boneless skinless chicken thighs about 2 pounds
- 3 cups vegetable or chicken broth low sodium
Instructions
- In a small bowl whisk your sauce ingredients and set aside.
- In a large skillet heat chicken broth on medium heat. Once the chicken broth starts to bubble add the chicken and cook for about 5 minutes per side.
- Drizzle all but ¼ cup of the honey sauce and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for about 5-10 minutes or until sauce reaches desired thickness (note: for a sticky glaze remove about 1 ½ cups broth and drizzle additional honey if desired).
Notes
- Watch your Heat: Once the sauce is added, reduce heat to keep a rolling boil, too high and you can burn the honey.
- Check Temperature: Cook until the internal temperature reaches 165F.
- Simmer for Glaze: Let the sauce reduce a few extra minutes for a thicker, sticky honey glaze.
- Balance the Flavors: Taste the sauce, add a splash of soy sauce for saltiness or extra honey for sweetness if needed.
- Rest Before Serving: Let the chicken sit for a few minutes so juices redistribute and the glaze sets.
