Ingredients
Scale
- boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- ½ cup of honey
- ¼ cup of soy sauce
- 4 minced garlic cloves
- fresh corn on the cob
- butter
- salt
- pepper
- red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together ½ cup of honey, ¼ cup of soy sauce, and 4 minced garlic cloves. This mixture will serve as both a marinade and a glaze.
- Place the chicken pieces in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the chicken is well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the corn on the cob and cook for about 8-10 minutes until tender. If you're using frozen corn, follow the cooking instructions on the package.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade (reserve the marinade for later) and add it to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice glaze.
- Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet with the chicken and let it simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
- Once the corn is cooked, drain it and toss it with butter, salt, and pepper. You can also sprinkle some fresh herbs like parsley or chives for added flavor.
- Plate the honey garlic chicken alongside the corn on the cob. Drizzle any remaining sauce over the chicken and enjoy!
