My oh my, this Easy Honey Garlic Chicken recipe is a cracker! Why do I say ‘easy’? Because you probably already have the ingredients for this sitting right there in your cupboard!
The honey and garlic sauce is super simple to make (and also goes amazingly with rice and vegetables if you add those as sides). If you’re on a diet, you can take off the chicken skins but for me the sticky, crispy skin makes the dish! You can also choose between chicken thighs or breasts for this recipe – both work perfectly.
To make Easy Honey Garlic Chicken, you will need the following ingredients:
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with the salt, pepper and garlic powder, before adding to the pan. Fry the chicken thighs/breasts on both sides until golden and cooked through.
Once cooked, leave a couple of tablespoons of the juices in the pan and drain the rest. Arrange the chicken skin-side up in the pan.
Add the garlic to the pan amongst the chicken pieces and fry for half a minute. Then pour in the water, honey, vinegar and soy sauce and turn up the heat. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the liquid starts to reduce and becomes sticky and syrupy.
Plate the chicken and drizzle the sauce over the top. This recipe works really well with rice and a side of vegetables.
