Step 1
Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.
Step 3
Sear chicken thighs 4–5 minutes per side without moving until golden brown. Transfer to a plate.
Step 4
Add minced garlic to the same skillet. Cook 30 seconds until fragrant, stirring constantly.
Step 5
Whisk in honey and fish sauce. Return chicken to the skillet and turn to coat. Simmer 6–8 minutes until glaze thickens and clings to chicken.
Step 6
Squeeze lime over the top. Serve immediately over rice, with extra glaze spooned over.
