Mix the garlic and jalapeños in a small bowl and divide into two, reserving half of the mixture. Place the chicken thighs in a shallow dish and season generously with salt and pepper. Add half of the garlic and jalapeño mix and two tablespoons of oil. Marinate for an hour if you have the time, otherwise, just go ahead and cook.
Grill or pan fry the chicken thighs on medium heat until the thighs are cooked through, 20-30 minutes, flipping as needed. If baking, put in a 375ºF oven for 30-40 minutes.
While the chicken is cooking, mix together the reserved garlic and jalapeños along with the honey and water. If grilling, brush the thighs with the honey mixture and grill until golden and sticky. If cooking on the stove top, add the honey mix to the pan and turn the heat up to medium high and reduce to a glossy sauce. Enjoy immediately.
