We are both staring at this beautiful bowl of crisp chicken pieces coated in a sweet and sticky sauce, roasted broccoli and a hot rice. This recipe for Honey Garlic Chicken Thighs<\/strong> is my family’s favorite dinner, and I love that it’s a sheet pan meal!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As someone who feigns vegetarianism in most social situations unless barbecue is involved, my weakness is chicken thighs. Especially these honey garlic chicken thighs! They’re one of my favorite chicken thigh recipes on the planet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s not often, but I get a craving for crispy fried chicken coated in a sweet and sticky honey garlic sauce about once a month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dipping chicken in cornstarch and eggs creates a crispy crust that begs for a sweet sticky sauce. Plus, I love that cornstarch sticks to the protein better than flour typically does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re afraid of frying, I have a ‘I believe I can fry’ manifesto on my Pork Schnitzel<\/strong><\/span><\/a> recipe. Frying is something that you have to practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For some reason, the first time anyone golfs, they assume they’re going to be terrible. But the first time someone follows a recipe and tries a new cooking method, they assume they should get perfect results. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Becoming a good cook takes practice, and this is especially true with frying. It’s delicious practice and you get to eat along the way, so join me! We can start with these chicken thigh recipes, and move up from there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ingredients Needed For The Best Chicken Thigh Recipe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I love that this is a sheet pan dinner, aside from frying the chicken before it hits the pan, of course. After I’ve fried the chicken, it’s so convenient to make the broccoli side dish on the same roasting pan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anytime a sheet pan dinner cooks protein and a veggie at the same time, I’m happy! Less dishes for me, plus a delicious dinner, is really my only love language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
