Ingredients
  

  • 1½ lb bone-in skin-on chicken thighs (4–6 pieces)
  • Kosher salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar
  • 12 oz green beans trimmed
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • ¼ cup sliced almonds toasted
  • Lemon wedges optional

Method
 

  1. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Sear thighs skin-side down 6–8 minutes until golden; flip and cook 4 minutes. Remove excess fat.
  3. Stir garlic into pan 30 seconds, then add honey, soy sauce, and vinegar. Reduce heat and spoon glaze over thighs; simmer 6–8 minutes until cooked through.
  4. Meanwhile, blanch or steam green beans 3–4 minutes until bright and tender-crisp.
  5. Melt butter in a separate pan, toss beans with butter and almonds, season with salt, and finish with a squeeze of lemon if using.
  6. Serve thighs with green beans almondine spooned with extra glaze from the skillet.
