Sweet and Sticky Honey Garlic Chicken
This Honey Garlic Chicken recipe is a savory and sweet delight that is perfect for any dinner occasion.
Ingredients
- 1.3 kg 3 lbs chicken thighs, skin-on
- 4-6 cloves of garlic finely minced
- 1 small onion grated or minced into fine pieces
- 60 ml 1/4 cup soy sauce, reduced sodium
- 80 ml 1/3 cup ketchup
- 80 ml 1/3 cup + 1 tbsp honey
- Pinch of red pepper flakes
- 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
- 1 1/2 tbsp brown sugar
For the Sauce on the Side:
- 2 tsp cornstarch
- Drippings from the baking dish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F).
- In a glass 9"x10" baking dish, whisk together all ingredients except for the chicken until combined.
- Add the chicken to the dish and spoon some of the mixture over each piece. Marinate the chicken in the mixture ahead of time if you like.
- Place the baking dish in the oven uncovered and bake for 45-60 minutes. Spoon some of the sauce over the chicken a few times as it cooks.
- Once the chicken is finished cooking, remove each piece from the baking dish and place them on a serving plate.
- Skim the fat off the top of the drippings as much as possible. If there's a little fat left, that's okay too.
- Combine about 1/4 of the drippings and the cornstarch in a small dish and set aside. Mix it together using a whisk to make sure there are no lumps.
- Pour the remaining drippings into a saucepot and bring to a boil.
- Add the cornstarch mixture and lower the heat. Stir constantly using a whisk until the sauce reaches the desired consistency.
- Remove from the heat and serve with the chicken.
