Instructions

  1. Make shallow cuts across each chicken thigh about 1 inch apart, without cutting all the way through. Season both sides with salt and white pepper, then lightly coat with cornstarch and shake off the excess.
  2. Heat the oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Place the chicken skin-side down and cook about 4 minutes until golden, then flip and cook another 4 minutes. Remove from the pan.
  3. In the same pan over medium heat, add the butter, garlic, soy sauce, honey, brown sugar and chicken stock, and stir until combined.
  4. Return the chicken to the pan and simmer about 5 minutes, spooning the sauce over the chicken from time to time, until glossy and sticky.
  5. Slice the chicken and spoon the extra sauce over the top before serving.
