Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 0.25 cup Ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 stalks Green onions, finely chopped (for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, smoked paprika, and ground black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the chicken thighs in a large resealable zip-top bag or shallow dish. Pour two-thirds of the marinade over the chicken, reserving the rest for basting. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease it with olive oil.
Arrange the marinated chicken thighs on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they aren't overlapping. Brush them with some of the reserved marinade.
Bake the chicken thighs in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping them halfway through and brushing with more reserved marinade. The chicken should be glazed and slightly caramelized when done.
For extra caramelization, switch the oven to broil for the last 2-3 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
Remove the chicken thighs from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes.
Garnish the chicken with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if using, before serving. Pair with rice, roasted veggies, or a crisp salad for a complete meal.
