Ingredients

2/3 cup honey
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
6 garlic cloves minced
4 pounds bone-in chicken thighs with skin, about 6 thighs
salt and pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
diced scallions (optional)
sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

Whisk together the honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and minced garlic to make the sauce.
2/3 cup honey, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 6 garlic cloves
Season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper.
4 pounds bone-in chicken thighs, salt and pepper
Place a large heavy bottomed skillet over medium heat. Cook the olive oil until it is shimmering. Place the chicken thighs skin side down into the skillet. Cook for 10 minutes.
2 tablespoons olive oil
Flip the chicken thighs and cook for 3 more minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan.
With the heat on medium, pour the prepared sauce into the pan scraping up any browned bits and whisking it in so it combines with the remaining oil in the pan.
Return the chicken to the pan, skin side down and cook for 5 minutes. Flip the chicken and cook for five more minutes or until the chicken registers 165 degrees Fahrenheit with an instant read thermometer.
Top with scallions and sesame seeds if you wish, serve over rice, and enjoy!
