Ingredients
- 8 pieces chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 0.5 cup soy sauce
- 0.5 cup honey
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 0.25 cup apple cider vinegar
- 4 cloves garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
- 2 stalks scallions (sliced, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, ground ginger, and black pepper to make the marinade.
Step 3
Place the chicken thighs in a large zip-top bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for better flavor.
Step 4
Transfer the marinated chicken thighs, along with the marinade, to a baking dish. Arrange the chicken skin-side up in a single layer.
Step 5
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes. Baste the chicken with the pan juices every 15 minutes to build up the sticky glaze.
Step 6
After 40-45 minutes, switch the oven to broil and cook the chicken for an additional 5 minutes or until the skin is glossy and slightly caramelized. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.
Step 7
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Step 8
Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced scallions before serving for added flavor and texture.
Step 9
Serve the sticky chicken hot, alongside steamed rice and sautéed vegetables for a complete meal.
