Ingredients

• 6 pieces chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
• 0.5 cup honey
• 2 tablespoons yellow curry powder
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
• 3 pieces garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 teaspoon ginger (grated)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 stalks green onions (sliced for garnish)
• 2 cups cooked rice (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together honey, curry powder, soy sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.

Step 3

Place the chicken thighs in a large baking dish in a single layer.

Step 4

Pour the marinade evenly over the chicken thighs, ensuring they are well coated. Use a spoon or your hands to rub the marinade under the skin for extra flavor.

Step 5

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.

Step 6

Remove the foil and baste the chicken with the juices from the pan to keep it moist.

Step 7

Return the dish to the oven uncovered and bake for an additional 25 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 8

Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Garnish with sliced green onions and serve hot with cooked rice or your favorite side dish.
