Step 1
Pat chicken dry. Mix honey, minced garlic, fish sauce, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
Step 2
Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high. Add chicken skin-side down, sear 5 minutes until golden and crispy.
Step 3
Flip chicken. Pour honey-garlic mixture over top. Cook 6 minutes, basting occasionally, until internal temp reaches 165°F.
Step 4
Transfer chicken to a plate. Scrape pan drippings into a small bowl to use as dipping sauce.
Step 5
Arrange cucumber slices, carrot slices, and fresh herbs on a serving plate alongside the chicken.
Step 6
Serve chicken hot with the pan sauce on the side for dipping.
