chicken thighs

🥗Healthier: chicken breast

💰Cheaper: bone-in chicken thighs

Chicken breast is leaner, while bone-in thighs are often less expensive.

Wash chicken thighs with lime, vinegar, and cold water.

Season chicken thighs with garlic powder and black pepper on both sides.

Heat vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat until ready.

Prepare the sauce by combining honey, soy sauce, ketchup, and sofrito in a bowl.

Stir the sauce ingredients together until well mixed and set aside.

Once the oil is heated, place chicken thighs skin side down into the pan without touching them to allow the skin to crisp up.

Fry the chicken thighs until they develop a nice brown crust, adjusting the heat as necessary to maintain oil temperature.

Prepare chicken broth in a separate pot using saved chicken wing tips, aiming for about 1/4 cup for the dish.

Once the chicken is cooked, add the prepared sauce to the pan with the chicken and allow it to reduce down.
