Instructions
1- Prep the Chicken:
- Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and place them in a mixing bowl.
- Lightly season the chicken with all-purpose seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, garlic and herb blend, and paprika.
2- Make the Sauce:
- In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, hot honey, chopped garlic, cilantro, paprika, red pepper flakes, and the additional pinch of garlic and herb blend. Stir until well combined.
3- Sear the Chicken:
- Heat an oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add a teaspoon of oil, then sear the chicken thighs for about 3 minutes on each side, until they develop a golden brown crust.

5- Bake the Chicken:
