Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh ginger (grated)
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 2 pieces Scallions (sliced, for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together grated ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, and rice vinegar to create the marinade.
Place the chicken thighs in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight for maximum flavor.
Preheat your oven to the broil setting. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
Remove the chicken thighs from the marinade and place them skin-side up on the prepared baking sheet. Discard the remaining marinade.
Broil the chicken in the oven for 10-12 minutes per side, or until the skin is golden brown and the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C). Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Transfer the chicken to a serving platter and garnish with sliced scallions and sesame seeds if desired.
Serve hot with rice, steamed vegetables, or your choice of side dishes. Enjoy!
