Honey Soy Baked Chicken Thighs

ingredients

1/3 cup honey
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, canola oil or olive oil
4 large cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon white vinegar, apple cider or rice wine vinegar
3/4 teaspoon fresh minced ginger (or substitute dried ginger)
2 1/2 pounds chicken thighs (skinless, boneless)
Salt and pepper to season
1/4 cup finely chopped green onions

Prepared white or brown rice
Fresh chopped parsley to garnish (optional)

bake it!

In a shallow bowl or plastic food storage bag, combine honey, soy sauce, cooking oil, garlic, vinegar, oil and ginger. Mix well and set aside.
Rinse and pat chicken dry with paper towels. Trim off any excess fat. Season with salt and pepper then transfer chicken to the bowl (or plastic food storage bag) with the marinade.
Cover and marinate chicken for at least 30 minutes if time allows.
Transfer chicken along with the marinade to a cast iron skillet or baking dish.
Preheat the oven to 425° F.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping twice while baking to ensure the chicken doesn’t dry out on top.
Remove from the oven, add the green onions.
Broil for 5 minutes at high heat until golden brown and slightly charred on the edges. Chicken should have an internal temp of 165°F.
Serve with rice. Garnish with parsley, if desired.
