Storing and Reheating Leftovers
Store any leftover chicken thighs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat leftovers in the microwave or on the stovetop over low heat until heated through. Never reheat leftovers more than once. Always use your best discretion with leftovers. That being said we have a . . . picky child in our house who does not love them. But! This child absolutely loves meat dishes. So let me introduce you to the perfect solution that will wow even your pickiest of eaters, Honey Garlic Chicken Thighs. This delicious dish has all the magical flavors of a stir fry, but in the form of a delicious chicken thigh that you serve over rice. Add a little steamed or roasted broccoli to the dish for a full rounded dinner everyone will love. Please keep in mind that most boneless chicken thighs come without skin on them. Because of that, you will want to skip the first steps of searing the chicken and add a little bit of time to the oven portion of the recipe.
Honey: Makes the sauce sticky and sweet. Garlic: Adds the perfect flavor profile. Soy sauce: To make this gluten-free, be sure to use a gluten-free soy sauce. Rice vinegar: Adds a unique flavor profile.
All chicken is considered fully cooked for food safety purposes at 165 degrees Fahrenheit. The cooking time on the recipe card will get you close, but the best way to know exactly when your chicken is done and prevent it from drying out is to use an instant-read thermometer. If you make this honey garlic chicken recipe or any of my other recipes, please leave a comment and let me know what you think.
