Ingredients
- 4 chicken thighs, skin-on and bone-in
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley or green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken thighs and coat well. Let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Bake the Chicken: Place the marinated chicken thighs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 25-30 minutes, basting with the marinade halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is crispy.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley or chopped green onions before serving. Enjoy with rice or veggies!
