Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
In a large cast iron skillet over medium heat add butter and allow butter to melt. Place chicken thighs into cast iron pan and cook until each side is nicely browned and a bit crispy (about 5 minutes on each side).
While the chicken is cooking, peel all of your garlic. I like to leave it whole. If some of the cloves are especially large, I will cut them in half.
Add garlic to skillet with browned chicken.
In a small bowl, stir together honey, chili paste, sesame oil, and soy sauce and pour sauce over top of chicken thighs and garlic.
Carefully transfer skillet, uncovered, to the preheated oven.
Let cook for 10 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
