Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken thighs
• 0.5 cup Honey
• 0.25 cup Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
• 2 pieces Green onions, sliced

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Pour the honey glaze mixture over the chicken, ensuring each piece is fully coated.

Step 5

Let the chicken marinate in the baking dish for about 10 minutes to absorb some of the flavors.

Step 6

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven.

Step 7

Bake for 20 minutes, then remove the foil and continue baking for another 10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the glaze has thickened slightly.

Step 8

Check the internal temperature of the chicken to ensure it has reached 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.

Step 9

Once done, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.

Step 10

Sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving to add a fresh and vibrant touch.

Step 11

Serve warm with your favorite side dishes like steamed vegetables or rice.
