Ingredients

• 8 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 0.25 cup Soy sauce
• 0.25 cup Honey
• 0.25 cup Ketchup
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 stalks Green onions, finely chopped (for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, smoked paprika, and ground black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the chicken thighs in a large resealable zip-top bag or shallow dish. Pour two-thirds of the marinade over the chicken, reserving the rest for basting. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours.

Step 3

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 4

Arrange the marinated chicken thighs on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they aren't overlapping. Brush them with some of the reserved marinade.

Step 5

Bake the chicken thighs in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping them halfway through and brushing with more reserved marinade. The chicken should be glazed and slightly caramelized when done.

Step 6

For extra caramelization, switch the oven to broil for the last 2-3 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.

Step 7

Remove the chicken thighs from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes.

Step 8

Garnish the chicken with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if using, before serving. Pair with rice, roasted veggies, or a crisp salad for a complete meal.
