Asian Soy-Glazed Apple Chicken

Tiffy Cooks' viral soy-glazed chicken with a fruity twist — skin-on chicken thighs braised in a sweet-savory soy-honey sauce with sauteed apples, red onion, and garlic until tender and melt-in-your-mouth. High-protein, gut-friendly, and naturally sweet.

Ingredients

  • 6 chicken thighs, skin-on

  • 1 tbsp dark soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 red onion, sliced
  • 6 garlic cloves, peeled
  • 1 large apple, sliced into wedges

Instructions

  1. Pat the chicken dry and season both sides with salt and pepper. Whisk together the chicken stock, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and honey in a measuring cup.
  2. Heat the oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken skin-side down until lightly golden, about 2 minutes per side, then remove and set aside.
  3. In the same pan, saute the red onion and garlic for 1-2 minutes, then add the apple wedges and cook briefly with the aromatics.
  4. Return the chicken to the pan, pour in the sauce, and bring to a gentle simmer. Cover and cook on medium-low about 20 minutes until the chicken is tender and cooked through. Spoon the sauce, apples, and onions over the chicken and serve with steamed rice.
