1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon kosher salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

½ cup all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons olive oil

½ cup (170g) honey

2 tablespoons soy sauce

3 tablespoons garlic, (minced)

½ cup yellow onion, (finely diced)

2 tablespoons white wine vinegar

½ teaspoon red pepper flakes

Directions

Chicken

Preheat oven. Prepare baking sheet.

Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a small bowl, whisk together garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Divide this seasoning mixture in half.

Season chicken.

Using one half of the seasoning mixture, evenly coat all sides of the chicken

To the remaining half of the seasoning mixture, add the flour and whisk together.

Dredge each chicken thigh in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess flour, and set aside.

Sear chicken.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for about 4-6 minutes per side. (The chicken will not be fully cooked at this point.)

Bake chicken.

Transfer chicken to the prepared baking sheet. (You will use the skillet to make the glaze.) Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

Prepare Glaze.

While the chicken is baking, prepare the glaze.

Combine glaze ingredients.

To the same skillet over medium-high heat, add honey, soy sauce, garlic, onion, vinegar, and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine.

Simmer glaze until thickened.

Bring mixture to a boil, and then reduce temperature to medium heat. Simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until thickened.

Toss chicken in glaze.

Add cooked chicken back into the skillet and toss to coat.

Serve hot with rice, pasta, or vegetables.
