Ingredients
- 6 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Sriracha
- 3 cloves Fresh garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 stalks Green onions (for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, Sriracha, minced garlic, grated ginger, smoked paprika, black pepper, salt, and lemon juice to create the marinade.
Step 3
Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel and rub them lightly with olive oil. Place them in a baking dish, skin-side up.
Step 4
Generously pour half of the honey glaze over the chicken, making sure each piece is well-coated. Reserve the remaining glaze for later.
Step 5
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Step 6
Remove the baking dish from the oven and brush the reserved glaze over the chicken thighs. Be sure to cover every surface to achieve a rich, sticky coating.
Step 7
Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the glaze is caramelized.
Step 8
Optional: For extra crispiness, broil the chicken on high for 2-3 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
Step 9
Once done, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Step 10
Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving. Pair with rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
