Sticky Honey Garlic Chicken 

6 chicken thighs, skinless, boneless, chopped into 1/2 inch pieces

salt and ground black pepper for seasoning

2 tablespoons olive oil

½ medium onion, finely chopped

7 cloves garlic, chopped, or to taste

1 cup honey

1/2 cup soy sauce

1/8 teaspoon onion powder

1/8 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Season chopped chicken pieces and mix.

Heat olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add seasoned chicken pieces and cook until oblique in color, about 3 minutes.

Next add onion and garlic; continue cooking until onion and garlic are soft, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove chicken mixture to a plate.

To the same iron skillet, add the honey, soy sauce, onion and garlic powder. With a wooden spoon stir the ingredients until well mixed. Let honey mixture boil rapidly for 2-3 minutes.

Return the chicken mixture with juices to the skillet and continue cooking, stirring occasionally while honey mixture boils rapidly as liquid is boiled out and honey-soy sauce thickens and coats chicken pieces, about 12-15 minutes.
