Ingredients

• 6 pieces boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic cloves (minced)
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 0.5 cup dry sherry
• 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
• 0.25 cup chicken stock
• 2 sprigs fresh thyme (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken thighs on both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Add the chicken thighs to the skillet, skin-side down if applicable, and sear for 5-6 minutes until they are golden and crispy. Flip and cook for another 5-6 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the honey, dry sherry, soy sauce, and chicken stock. Use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet for extra flavor.

Step 6

Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over the top. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the chicken simmer in the sauce for 15 minutes.

Step 7

Uncover the skillet and increase the heat to medium. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, basting the chicken with the glaze until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the chicken.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the chicken to a serving plate. Garnish with fresh thyme if desired.

Step 9

Serve immediately with your choice of side dishes, such as rice, roasted vegetables, or mashed potatoes.
