Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken thighs (boneless, skinless)
- 2 pieces Apples (firm, such as Honeycrisp or Granny Smith)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger (finely grated)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 2 sprigs Fresh thyme (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the broiler in your oven and position a rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, grated ginger, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Rinse and pat dry the chicken thighs. Place them in a shallow dish or zip-top bag and pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is fully coated. Let it marinate for 10-15 minutes at room temperature or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for extra flavor.
While the chicken marinates, core and slice the apples into thin wedges. Set aside.
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup and lightly grease it with olive oil or non-stick cooking spray.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and place the pieces on the prepared baking sheet. Arrange the apple slices around the chicken, pouring a small amount of the marinade over the apples for added flavor.
Place the baking sheet under the broiler and cook for 10-12 minutes on one side. Flip the chicken pieces and cook for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Keep an eye on the apples to ensure they soften and caramelize but don’t burn.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes.
Garnish with fresh thyme sprigs, if desired, and serve warm alongside the roasted apples.
