Honey garlic chicken thighs combine a sweet-savory glaze with juicy chicken and simple pantry ingredients. Baking keeps the method easy while the sauce becomes glossy and concentrated.
This ShiMuv Recipe also has a strong visual arc: plain chicken becomes deeply glazed and ready to serve over rice and vegetables.

ShiMuv Recipe
Ingredients
- 1½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ⅓ cup honey
- ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water
- Sesame seeds and sliced green onions, optional
How to Make It
- Heat the oven to 400°F. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and arrange it in a lightly oiled baking dish.
- Whisk honey, soy sauce, garlic, and vinegar together and pour most of the mixture over the chicken.
- Bake until the chicken is fully cooked through, about 25–30 minutes depending on thickness.
- Simmer the reserved sauce in a small saucepan and stir in the cornstarch mixture until glossy and thickened.
- Brush the thickened glaze over the chicken and finish with sesame seeds and green onions.
Food-safety note: Poultry should be fully cooked through before serving. Use an instant-read thermometer when needed to confirm a safe internal temperature.
