Step 1
Pat chicken thighs dry and season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
Step 2
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 1 minute.
Step 3
Place chicken skin-side down in the skillet and sear without moving until golden, 6–7 minutes.
Step 4
Flip chicken. Mix honey, garlic, fish sauce, lime juice, and chili in a small bowl, then pour over thighs.
Step 5
Cook 8–10 minutes until glaze caramelizes and chicken reaches 165°F at the thickest point.
Step 6
Spoon glaze over chicken, then serve immediately while the skin is crispy.
