Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken thighs
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 2 pieces Green onions, sliced
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Place the chicken thighs in a baking dish in a single layer.
Pour the honey glaze mixture over the chicken, ensuring each piece is fully coated.
Let the chicken marinate in the baking dish for about 10 minutes to absorb some of the flavors.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven.
Bake for 20 minutes, then remove the foil and continue baking for another 10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the glaze has thickened slightly.
Check the internal temperature of the chicken to ensure it has reached 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
Once done, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving to add a fresh and vibrant touch.
Serve warm with your favorite side dishes like steamed vegetables or rice.
