Soy Glazed Chicken

Step 1

Season the chicken thigh with salt and pepper on both sides.

Step 4

Remove the chicken and set it aside.

Step 5

Mix soy sauce, minced garlic, five-spice powder, and honey in a bowl.

Step 6

Drizzle the sauce into the same pan that the chicken was cooked and simmer for 1 minute.

Add back in the chicken and cook the chicken on high heat while drizzling the sauce all over the chicken for 1 minute.
