Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 500 g Chicken Thighs
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
- 5 cloves Garlic (Minced)
- 4 tbsp Honey
- 2 tbsp Soy Sauce
- 1 tsp Oregano (Dried)
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
- Parsley (For garnish)
Instructions
- 1
In a bowl, mix together the honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. This will be your marinade.
- 2
Place the boneless chicken thighs in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour half of the marinade over the chicken, making sure each piece is coated. Reserve the other half of the marinade for later use.
- 3
Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 15 minutes, or you can refrigerate it for up to 4 hours for more flavour.
- 4
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade (discard the marinade that was in contact with raw chicken) and add the chicken to the skillet.
- 5
Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and nicely browned.
- 6
Once the chicken is cooked, pour the reserved marinade into the skillet. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken pieces. Make sure the chicken is well coated with the glaze on both sides.
- 7
Remove the skillet from the heat. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the honey garlic chicken for a burst of freshness and colour.
- 8
Serve the honey garlic chicken hot with your choice of sides, such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a crisp salad.
