Ingredients
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
2 tablespoons olive oil
Chopped green onions (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and red pepper flakes until smooth.
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the chicken thighs for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown.
Pour the honey sauce over the chicken, coating evenly.
Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, until the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes.
Garnish with chopped green onions if desired and serve.
Notes
Searing the chicken first adds extra flavor and locks in juices.
Adjust honey or soy sauce to balance sweetness and saltiness.
For extra sauce, double the glaze ingredients.
Pairs well with rice, mashed potatoes, or roasted vegetables.
