Step-by-Step Instructions

Season the chicken thighs with kosher salt and black pepper on both sides, then lightly dust with all-purpose flour.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear chicken thighs skin-side down for 6-8 minutes until golden brown.
Prepare the glaze by mixing honey, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and crushed red pepper flakes in a bowl.
Flip chicken and pour the glaze over the top. Transfer skillet to preheated oven at 375°F and bake for about 25 minutes.
Remove chicken from the oven and let it rest. Return skillet to medium heat to reduce the remaining sauce.
