Ingredients
- 8 pieces chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 0.5 cup honey
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking dish or tray with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Step 2
Rinse the chicken thighs under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Arrange the chicken pieces in a single layer in the prepared baking dish, skin-side up.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey and soy sauce to create the marinade. Pour this mixture evenly over the chicken, ensuring that each piece is coated well.
Step 4
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes.
Step 5
After 20 minutes, flip the chicken pieces over so the skin side is facing down. Spoon some of the marinade from the baking dish over the chicken to keep it moist.
Step 6
Return the baking dish to the oven and bake for another 15 minutes.
Step 7
Flip the chicken pieces back to skin-side up for the final 10 minutes of cooking. Turn on the broiler (if desired) during the last 3–5 minutes to crisp up the skin and caramelize the sauce.
Step 8
Once the chicken is golden brown and sticky, remove it from the oven. Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 9
Serve warm with your favorite sides, such as rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad. Enjoy!
