Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 teaspoons Curry powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 cloves Minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil.
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the curry powder, ground turmeric, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon olive oil until smooth.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken thighs, skin-side down, for about 3 minutes, or until golden brown. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes.
Transfer the chicken to the prepared baking sheet if not using an oven-safe skillet. Brush the curry glaze generously over the top of each piece of chicken.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Halfway through the bake time, baste the chicken with any glaze that has dripped onto the pan for maximum flavor.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with freshly chopped cilantro before serving, if desired.
Serve warm with steamed rice, naan bread, or roasted vegetables.
