Little G is hooked on honey, or all kinds of foods made with honey. I use honey to make a lot of dishes for dinner.

One of our family’s favorite is honey garlic sauce, which is absolutely amazing on all kinds of protein, especially chicken.

I also love playing with brown butter. When you heat up regular butter to become brown butter, it lends a nutty scent and deeper flavors to your chicken dish and makes this honey garlic chicken recipe even better.

This dish is certainly one of the best chicken recipes ever and you can make it with chicken thighs or chicken breasts. I love chicken skin but you can always use skinless and boneless chicken.

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken thighs with salt and ground black pepper on both sides of the chicken. Add all the ingredients for the Sauce in a bowl, whisk and mix well. Set aside.
  2. Heat up a skillet (cast-iron preferred) and pan-fry the chicken thighs (skin side down). Turn the chicken over and pan fry until the skin becomes golden brown and the meat side becomes nicely browned and crispy. Set aside.
  3. Discard the chicken fat on the skillet. Add the butter and let melt and foam, until the butter turns light brown. Add the garlic and saute for 10 seconds. Transfer the chicken back into the skillet and then add the Sauce. Turn the heat to low to simmer and reduce the sauce to a thicker consistency, or until they turn sticky, golden brown, and that the chicken is cooked through. Flip the chicken over a couple of times. Turn the heat off, garnish with the parsley and lemon. Serve immediately.

Recipe Notes

Cut the inside of the chicken to check doneness. If the sauce dries up before the chicken is cooked, add some water and continue to cook the chicken.
