Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 cup Chicken stock
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Season the chicken thighs with salt and black pepper, ensuring both sides are evenly coated.
Step 2
Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Step 3
Place the chicken thighs in the skillet skin-side down. Sear them for 5-6 minutes until the skin is golden brown and crispy. Flip the chicken and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side. Remove the chicken and set aside.
Step 4
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 5
Add the tomato paste, Dijon mustard, honey, and soy sauce to the skillet, stirring well to combine.
Step 6
Pour in the chicken stock and stir to create a smooth glaze. Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes to slightly thicken.
Step 7
Return the seared chicken thighs to the skillet, skin-side up, ensuring they are partially submerged in the sauce.
Step 8
Lower the heat to medium-low and cover the skillet with a lid. Simmer the chicken for 20-25 minutes, occasionally spooning the glaze over the chicken to ensure it is well-coated.
Step 9
Once the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature reaches 165°F or 74°C) and the glaze is sticky and reduced, remove the skillet from the heat.
Step 10
Garnish the dish with fresh thyme leaves if desired, and serve hot with a side of rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
