Sticky Honey Garlic Chicken Thighs
These juicy chicken thighs are coated in a sweet and savory sauce that the whole family will love.
recipesbynani.comThere is something so satisfying about a good honey garlic glaze, and this chicken recipe hits the spot every single time. It is quick enough for a busy weeknight but tastes like you spent hours in the kitchen.
My best advice is to keep an eye on the pan while the sauce reduces. You want it thick and glossy, but honey can burn quickly if the heat is too high, so take your time and enjoy the process.

💡 Tips
Serve this chicken over a bowl of steamed white rice or roasted vegetables to soak up the extra sauce. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days and reheat gently in a pan.
