- 4–6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3–4 minced garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar or lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon water

- Pat the chicken thighs dry and lightly coat with oil.
- In a bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, butter, minced garlic, rice vinegar, cornstarch, and water.

Notes
For a gluten-free option, use tamari instead of soy sauce. Omit butter or use oil for a dairy-free variation.
