Ingredients
Scale
- 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 1/3 cup honey
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, ground ginger, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Add the chicken thighs, turning them to coat evenly in the marinade. Cover and let them marinate for at least 20 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In an oven-safe skillet, heat a bit of olive oil over medium-high heat. Place the marinated chicken thighs skin-side down in the skillet. Sear for 5-7 minutes until the skin is golden brown.
- Carefully flip the chicken. Pour the remaining marinade over the top.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for about 25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Remove the skillet from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Sprinkle with chopped parsley.
- Serve the Honey Garlic Chicken Thighs hot.
Notes
- Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor.
- Let the chicken rest after cooking to keep it juicy.
- Consider adding sesame oil or rice vinegar to the marinade for extra flavor.
- For a gluten-free option, use tamari instead of soy sauce.
- Boneless chicken thighs can be used, but adjust cooking time.
