Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
Sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure even baking of the chicken thighs.
- Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, and soy sauce until well combined to create the honey garlic glaze.
- Arrange chicken and add sauce: Place the chicken thighs in a baking dish skin-side up and pour the honey garlic sauce over the chicken, making sure they are evenly coated.
- Bake the chicken: Bake the chicken uncovered in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and has an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Glaze before serving: In the last 5 minutes, spoon some of the sauce over the chicken to glaze and caramelize the skin slightly for extra flavor and shine.
- Rest and serve: Remove the dish from the oven, let the chicken rest for a few minutes, then serve warm with the sauce spooned over the top.
Notes
- For extra crisp skin, broil the chicken for 2-3 minutes at the end of baking.
- Use low sodium soy sauce to reduce salt content if desired.
- Can be served with steamed rice or sautéed vegetables for a complete meal.
- Ensure chicken thighs are fully thawed before cooking for even baking.
