Ingredients

  • 6 pieces bone-in skin-on chicken thighs
  • ¼ cup soy sauce (60 ml)
  • ¼ cup honey (60 ml)
  • 2 tablespoons chicken broth (30 ml)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions
 

  • Step 1: Marinate the Chicken - In a bowl, mix together the soy sauce, honey, chicken broth, grated ginger, sesame oil, garlic powder, and onion powder. Whisk until combined. Place the chicken thighs in a resealable bag or shallow dish, pour the marinade over, seal, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  • Step 2: Preheat Your Oven - Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Step 3: Bake the Chicken Thighs - Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for about 35-40 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  • Step 4: Glaze the Chicken - Pour the reserved marinade into a saucepan, bring to a boil, and simmer for 5-10 minutes until it thickens. Brush the glaze on the chicken during the last 5 minutes of baking.
  • Step 5: Finish and Serve - Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve with steamed rice, roasted veggies, or a fresh salad.

Notes

For extra crispy skin, pat the chicken thighs dry before marinating. You can also add red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
