Allrecipes' most popular chicken recipe of 2026 — sticky, sweet honey-garlic chicken thighs seared then simmered in a 5-ingredient honey-garlic sauce you'll want on everything.
Ingredients
8 boneless chicken thighs
Salt and ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
7 cloves garlic, chopped
1 cup honey
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
Season chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and brown on one side, 3 to 5 minutes.
Flip chicken and add onion and garlic. Cook until chicken is mostly done and onion is soft, 5 to 7 minutes more. Remove chicken to a plate.
Add honey, soy sauce, a pinch of onion powder and garlic powder to the skillet. Stir and scrape the pan to incorporate the onion and garlic into the liquid.
Return chicken to the skillet, cover, and reduce heat to medium. Cook until no longer pink in the center, about 10 more minutes, turning once. Garnish with cilantro.
