Step 1

Preheat oven to 360°F.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, lemon juice, soy sauce, vinegar and minced garlic. Set aside.

Step 3

Over medium-high heat, preheat a skillet that is safe for the oven. The chicken should be seared until browned on both sides. Drain the remaining fat and liquids from the pan, leaving aside about 1 tablespoon.

Step 4

Cover the chicken with roughly half of the honey mixture. In between the thighs, insert the remaining intact garlic cloves. A meat thermometer should read 160°F for the chicken after 40 to 50 minutes of baking.

Step 5

Heat the remaining honey mixture in a small saucepan over medium heat while the chicken bakes. After bringing to a boil, lower the heat so that it simmers. Simmer until the sauce thickens.

Step 6

Cover the cooked chicken with the thickened sauce. Serve heated with lemon wedges and garnish with green onions.
