Recipe Summary

  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Cook Time: 35 minutes
  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Servings: 4-6
  • Skill Level: Easy

Ingredients

  • 6 chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Sesame seeds for garnish
  • Chopped green onions for garnish
  • Cooked white rice for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, garlic, olive oil, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, and red pepper flakes.
  3. Place the chicken thighs in a baking dish and pour the honey garlic mixture over them, ensuring they are well coated.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is crispy and golden. Baste the chicken with the sauce halfway through baking.
  5. Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
  6. Serve the honey garlic chicken thighs over a bed of fluffy white rice. Enjoy!

Helpful Tips

For a deeper flavor, marinate the chicken in the honey garlic sauce for at least 30 minutes before baking. If you’re short on time, you can skip this step and proceed with baking. For a healthier option, you can use boneless, skinless chicken thighs or even chicken breasts. Adjust the baking time accordingly; chicken breasts may require less cooking time.

Storage Instructions

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until warmed through.

Pairings

This delectable dish pairs beautifully with a variety of side dishes. Try serving it with steamed broccoli, roasted vegetables, or a fresh garden salad. For beverages, a crisp white wine or a refreshing lemonade makes a delightful pairing.
