How to Make Honey Garlic Chicken Thighs

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl with a tight-fitting lid, place 1 cup all-purpose flour.
  3. Add chicken thighs (about 2 lbs), in batches, to the bowl. Secure the lid and shake vigorously to coat the chicken evenly with flour.
  4. Gently shake off any excess flour from the chicken thighs.
  5. Arrange the chicken thighs in a greased 8x8 inch baking dish, ensuring they maintain their original shape from the package; do not flatten them.
  6. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup honey, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 4 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional).
  7. Pour the honey-garlic mixture evenly over the chicken thighs in the baking dish.
  8. Cover the baking dish with foil or a lid.
  9. Bake for 30 minutes.
  10. Remove the foil or lid, and bake for an additional 15 minutes, basting the chicken with the pan juices occasionally for extra glaze.
  11. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve hot and enjoy!
