Make it “healthy dinner”
Use low-sodium tamari, serve with steamed broccoli/cauliflower rice, and skip extra sugar—honey provides all sweetness.
Pro Tips
- Pat thighs very dry → best sear.
- Don’t over-reduce honey; it thickens more off heat.
- Prefer breasts? Butterfly and cook to 160°F, rest 5 min.
Serve With
Rice or noodles, roasted broccoli, snap peas, or a cucumber salad.
Storage
Fridge 4 days; reheat gently with a splash of water. Freeze up to 2 months.
FAQs
Can I meal-prep? Yes—sauce keeps the meat juicy.
Swap honey? Maple works; flavor is slightly deeper.
Gluten-free? Use tamari or coconut aminos.
