- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp olive oil
For the sauce
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- ⅓ cup honey
- 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
Chef's tipCoconut aminos are sweeter and less salty; taste and adjust the seasoning. - 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp cornstarch
Chef's tipFor thickening, use about 1 1/3 times as much tapioca starch, stirred into a spoonful of cold water first; take the pan off the heat soon after it thickens. - 1 tbsp unsalted butter
Chef's tipUse a stick or block-style dairy-free butter - not a soft tub spread - and swap one-for-one.
For serving
- 1 tsp sesame seeds (optional)
- 2 scallions, thinly sliced (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels, then season both sides with the salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
