Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken thighs
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 teaspoons Curry powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground turmeric
• 3 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 cloves Minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil.

Step 2

Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the curry powder, ground turmeric, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon olive oil until smooth.

Step 4

Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken thighs, skin-side down, for about 3 minutes, or until golden brown. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes.

Step 5

Transfer the chicken to the prepared baking sheet if not using an oven-safe skillet. Brush the curry glaze generously over the top of each piece of chicken.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Halfway through the bake time, baste the chicken with any glaze that has dripped onto the pan for maximum flavor.

Step 7

Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with freshly chopped cilantro before serving, if desired.

Step 8

Serve warm with steamed rice, naan bread, or roasted vegetables.
