In a bowl, combine the minced garlic, chili flakes, soy sauce, and honey. Mix well.
Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and make sure they're fully coated with the mixture. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Heat a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken thighs, cooking each side until golden brown and cooked through. This should take about 7-10 minutes per side.
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
For the best flavor, marinate the chicken in the garlic and chili mix for at least 30 minutes.
Don't rush the browning of your chicken. This step brings out a lot of flavors.
Use a heavy-bottomed pan or skillet to evenly distribute heat while cooking.
Always rest your chicken for a few minutes after cooking. This helps keep the juices in.
If you want extra spice, add some chopped fresh chili during the cooking process.
