Ingredients

6 boneless skinless chicken thighs
1/4 cup flour
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup honey or agave nectar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
4 garlic cloves minced
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375.
In a medium sized bowl, mix together the flour and paprika.
1/4 cup flour, 1 teaspoon paprika
Coat each chicken thigh in the flour mixture and place in a greased or foil lined dish.
Sprinkle each thigh with salt and pepper. Place in a baking dish
1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper
In a separate bowl, mix the honey, soy sauce, and garlic.
1/4 cup honey, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 4 garlic cloves
Pour evenly over the chicken. You may need to flip them over once or twice to make sure they're coated completely in the sauce. Sprinkle with the red pepper flakes to taste (if you don't like spicy, you can totally leave this off).

Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
Uncover and continue baking for another 15 minutes.
