Honey Garlic Chicken

Instructions

1. 01

   Generously season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper.

2. 02

   Add the flour to a plate or tray. Lightly coat the chicken with the flour and transfer to a plate. Make sure to shake off any access flour.

3. 03

   Set a large skillet or cast iron pan over medium high heat. Add 3 tbsp of the butter to the pan. Once melted, add the chicken. Cook the chicken for about 4-5 minutes on each side. (If the chicken is browning too quickly on one side, lower the heat.)

4. 04

   While the chicken is cooking, make the honey garlic sauce. In a small bowl, whisk the soy sauce, honey, garlic and apple cider vinegar together.

5. 05

   During the chicken's last minute of cooking time, pour the honey garlic sauce into the pan. Lower the heat and cook the sauce to a simmer for about a minute. Then flip the chicken so that the other side simmers in the sauce for another minutes. Then turn off the heat.

6. 06

   To plate, add the rice and chicken to a plate. Pair it with your favorite veggies and serve immediately. For garnish, I like to add some thinly sliced scallions and sprinkle sesame seeds on top of the chicken. I like to pair the honey garlic chicken with an Asian cucumber salad. Stay tuned for my cucumber salad recipe which I'll post next week! Enjoy!
