Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons sugar-free honey substitute
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon ginger, freshly grated
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
Place the chicken thighs in a large mixing bowl.
In a separate bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, sugar-free honey substitute, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, freshly grated ginger, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.
Pour the marinade over the chicken thighs, ensuring that each piece is well-coated. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more intense flavor.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place the marinated chicken thighs onto a lined baking sheet, skin side up, and pour any remaining marinade over the chicken.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Once cooked, switch the oven to broil on high. Broil the chicken for 2-3 minutes to achieve a crispy glaze on the top.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Enjoy your flavorful low-carb honey glazed chicken with a side of your choice.
