Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb chicken thighs or breasts
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped green onions for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Make the Marinade: In a bowl, mix together honey, soy sauce, and minced garlic to create a delicious marinade.
- Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then place it in a large zip-top bag or bowl. Pour the marinade over it, making sure every piece is coated.
- Marinate: Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes (up to 2 hours for more flavor).
- Heat the Oil: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Cook the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade and cook in the skillet for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Add the Marinade: Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet and let it simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes until thickened.
- Serve: Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions if desired.
Notes
For best results, marinate for the full two hours and avoid overcrowding the pan while cooking.
