Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 0.25 cup Honey
• 2 tablespoons Curry powder
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, prepare the marinade by whisking together honey, curry powder, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Place the chicken thighs in a shallow dish or a large resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are fully coated. Cover the dish or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for more flavor.

Step 3

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 4

Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Once hot, sear the chicken thighs on both sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. This step locks in the flavors.

Step 5

Pour any leftover marinade into the skillet with the chicken. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 6

Once cooked, remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 7

Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve warm. Pair with rice, naan bread, or a crisp green salad for a complete meal.
