1-First, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare your ingredients. In a medium bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour and ground paprika, then coat the 6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs thoroughly in this mixture. Next, place the coated chicken in a greased or foil-lined baking dish and sprinkle it with ½ teaspoon kosher salt and ½ teaspoon ground black pepper for seasoning.

2-In another bowl, combine ¼ cup honey or agave nectar, 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce, and 4 cloves minced garlic to create the sauce. If you like a bit of heat, add 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes as an optional step. Pour this honey garlic sauce over the chicken, flipping the thighs once or twice to coat them evenly, then cover the dish with foil.

3-Bake the covered dish for 30 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the sauce bubbles nicely.

Serve the chicken with rice or vegetables, spooning extra sauce on top for extra taste, and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes before enjoying.
