Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 0.5 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons yellow curry powder
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 3 pieces garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 teaspoon ginger (grated)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 stalks green onions (sliced for garnish)
- 2 cups cooked rice (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, whisk together honey, curry powder, soy sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.
Place the chicken thighs in a large baking dish in a single layer.
Pour the marinade evenly over the chicken thighs, ensuring they are well coated. Use a spoon or your hands to rub the marinade under the skin for extra flavor.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and baste the chicken with the juices from the pan to keep it moist.
Return the dish to the oven uncovered and bake for an additional 25 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with sliced green onions and serve hot with cooked rice or your favorite side dish.
