While the chicken is cooking, you can prepare the Bacon-Balsamic Brussels Sprouts. Yes, you read that right – Brussels sprouts! They’re the perfect side dish to pair with this honey-garlic chicken.

Preheat your oven to 425°F. Heat some oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high. Sprinkle the chicken on both sides with salt, then place it skin side down in the hot oil. Cook until the skin is golden brown, about 10-12 minutes.
While the chicken is cooking, whisk together the honey, chili-garlic sauce, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger in a small bowl. Return the chicken to the skillet, skin side up, and pour the honey mixture over it. Add some butter to the skillet and cook until it’s melted, about 30 seconds.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake until the chicken is cooked through and the honey mixture has thickened, about 12-15 minutes. Stir the sauce halfway through the baking time to prevent it from burning.
Once the chicken is done, transfer it to a large plate and spoon the sauce evenly over it. Garnish with some thinly sliced scallions and serve with the Bacon-Balsamic Brussels Sprouts.

This honey-garlic chicken is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. It’s a dish that’s sure to impress your family and friends, and it’s incredibly easy to make.
