These honey garlic chicken thighs are sticky, sweet, and bursting with flavor. They’re easy to make and perfect for a quick weeknight dinner. Serves two.
Ingredients:
- 4 chicken thighs, bone-in, skin-on
- 4 tbsp honey
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh cilantro or green onions, for garnish
Preparation:
- Preheat the oven: Start by preheating your oven to 200°C (400°F).
- Prepare the marinade: In a bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, and minced garlic. This sweet and savory marinade will coat the chicken beautifully.
- Season the chicken: Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Place them in a baking dish and pour the honey garlic mixture over the top, ensuring they are well coated.
- Bake the chicken: Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, basting halfway through with the sauce. The chicken should be cooked through and the skin crispy. Use a meat thermometer to ensure they reach an internal temperature of 75°C (165°F).
- Serve and garnish: Once cooked, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh cilantro or sliced green onions for a pop of color and flavor. Serve with steamed rice or vegetables for a complete meal.
Serve hot for a satisfying dinner that’s easy to prepare and perfect for any night of the week.
