Spicy Honey-Glazed Chicken
Description
The recipe starts by seasoning chicken thighs simply with salt and pepper, then pan-frying them skin side down to develop a crisp and golden exterior. After both sides are browned and the chicken is cooked through, the glaze ingredients are heated and reduced slightly in the skillet. Returning the chicken to the pan allows the glaze to thicken and coat the chicken evenly. The mixture includes honey and sugars for sweetness alongside mustards and hot sauce that provide complexity and heat, complemented by apple cider vinegar for acidity and parsley for a fresh herbal note.
This chicken is served immediately to retain the glaze’s coating and the texture of the crispy skin. It can function well as a main dish for dinner or lunch.
Ingredients
- 5-6 chicken thighs
- salt
- black pepper ground
Glaze:
- 1/4 cup chicken broth low-sodium
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce of your choice, Tabasco, Asian chili-garlic sauce
- 1 tablespoon Italian parsley chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Combine all the ingredients for the Glaze, and stir to mix well. Set aside.
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet and pan-fry the chicken thighs, skin side down, first. Flip the chicken over and pan-fry until both sides are nicely browned and crispy.
- Continue turning and cooking the chicken to ensure they are completely cooked through. Remove from the skillet and discard the chicken fat.
- Heat the Glaze in the skillet over low heat, reducing it slightly before adding the chicken thighs back in. Simmer on low heat until the glaze nicely coats both sides of the chicken. Check the chicken's inside for doneness. Serve immediately.
