HONEY-AND-SOY-GLAZED CHICKEN THIGHS
In this simple weeknight recipe, chicken thighs are tossed with a sweet-salty glaze made of honey and soy sauce that caramelizes into a sticky coating as it roasts in the oven. Serve the sliced chicken with bibb lettuce cups for wrapping, or over steamed rice to catch all the juices. Leftovers can be chopped and combined with vegetables for a tasty clean-out-the-fridge fried rice.

Add the soy sauce and honey and simmer, stirring occasionally, until reduced and slightly thickened, about 10 minutes.

Roast until golden and cooked through, about 10 minutes.
- Drizzle the chicken with the remaining glaze and serve with lemon wedges.

HONEY-GLAZED CHICKEN AND SHALLOTS
The combination of a sweet glaze, tangy shallots and pan-roasted chicken makes this a quick but decadent one-pan meal. Caramelizing shallots first, then tossing them with sherry vinegar gives them a pickled but syrupy bite. A little heat from a spicy chile and some freshness from parsley leaves balance this flavorful dish. Serve right off the stove, over cooked grains or alongside a crisp salad.

Steps:
- Pat the chicken dry and season all over with salt. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium. Add the shallots and cook, turning frequently, until lightly caramelized on all sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer the shallots to a medium bowl and set aside.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet, and raise the heat to medium-high. Place the chicken skin side down and sear without moving until the skin is golden brown, about 10 minutes. Turn and cook the other side until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
- Reduce heat to medium-low, and add 1/4 cup water to the skillet. Use a spatula or tongs to loosen any stuck bits. Stir the honey, lime juice, garlic and chile into the liquid around the chicken pieces. Cover with a lid or foil, and cook until the meat is cooked through, about 8 minutes. Uncover, raise the heat to high and cook until the sauce is thickened, about 2 minutes more.
- Toss the shallots with the sherry vinegar and parsley, and season with salt. Serve the chicken with the dressed shallots and spoon the pan sauce over everything.

Tips:
- Choose the right chicken: Use bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts or thighs for the best flavor and moisture. If you're using boneless, skinless chicken breasts, be sure to pound them thin so they cook evenly.
- Make sure the chicken is dry before cooking: Pat the chicken dry with paper towels before cooking to help the glaze adhere. This will also help the skin crisp up.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: Make sure there is enough space between the chicken pieces so that they can cook evenly. If the pan is too crowded, the chicken will steam instead of brown.
- Use a meat thermometer: Cook the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Using a meat thermometer is the best way to ensure that the chicken is cooked through.
- Make the glaze ahead of time: The honey vanilla glaze can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. This makes it easy to prepare a delicious meal on busy weeknights.
Conclusion:
Honey vanilla glazed chicken is a flavorful and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and memorable meal that your family and friends will love.
