These honey garlic chicken thighs are a quick and easy weeknight meal, bursting with sweet and savory flavors. Tender chicken thighs are coated in a sticky glaze that's perfect over rice or with a side of vegetables.
In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, olive oil, ground ginger, and black pepper.
Place chicken thighs in a large bowl or resealable bag. Pour the honey garlic mixture over the chicken, making sure each thigh is coated.
Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place chicken thighs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is cooked through.
Baste the chicken with the pan juices a few times during baking for extra flavor and glaze.
Serve hot, drizzled with the remaining pan juices. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions (optional).
Notes
Serve with steamed rice and your favorite vegetables for a complete meal. Adjust the honey and garlic amounts to your liking.
