Ingredients

• 6 pieces chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons sugar-free honey substitute
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 2 cloves minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon ginger, freshly grated
• 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Place the chicken thighs in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, sugar-free honey substitute, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, freshly grated ginger, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.

Step 3

Pour the marinade over the chicken thighs, ensuring that each piece is well-coated. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more intense flavor.

Step 4

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 5

Place the marinated chicken thighs onto a lined baking sheet, skin side up, and pour any remaining marinade over the chicken.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 7

Once cooked, switch the oven to broil on high. Broil the chicken for 2-3 minutes to achieve a crispy glaze on the top.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Step 10

Enjoy your flavorful low-carb honey glazed chicken with a side of your choice.
