1-Getting started with honey glazed chicken thighs: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure even baking. This method helps the chicken cook through while keeping it juicy and full of flavor.

2-Coat the chicken thighs: Coat the 6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs in a mixture of ¼ cup all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon ground paprika for a light, crispy exterior. Place them in a greased or foil-lined baking dish and season each with ½ teaspoon kosher salt and ½ teaspoon ground black pepper.

3-Prepare the sauce: In a separate bowl, mix ¼ cup honey or agave nectar, 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce, and 4 cloves minced garlic to create the sauce, adding 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes if you want some spice.

4-Pour the sauce and bake: Once your oven is ready, pour the honey-soy-garlic sauce over the chicken, making sure to flip the pieces once or twice for even coverage. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes, then uncover and bake for another 15 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes afterward to lock in juiciness, as this step is crucial for the best texture.

5-Serve: Serve your honey glazed chicken thighs with rice or vegetables, and don’t hesitate to drizzle on extra sauce for more flavor.
