Ingredients
- 6 pieces boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.25 cup honey
- 0.25 cup coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 3 cloves garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Begin by mincing the garlic cloves and chopping the fresh parsley. Set the parsley aside for garnish later.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together honey, coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, ground ginger, salt, and black pepper until the honey is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
Step 3
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season them lightly with additional salt and black pepper.
Step 4
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken thighs to the skillet.
Step 5
Cook the chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. An internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) indicates they are done.
Step 6
Reduce the heat to medium and pour the honey mixture over the chicken thighs in the skillet. Simmer and turn the chicken regularly, allowing the sauce to reduce and thicken, coating the chicken evenly, which should take about 5 minutes.
Step 7
Remove the skillet from heat. Let the chicken rest for a couple of minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Step 8
Transfer the chicken thighs to a serving platter, pouring any remaining sauce from the skillet over them.
Step 9
Garnish with the chopped fresh parsley and serve hot.
